Shuchiin Academy. The corridor.
The moment she met Lynn's gaze, Kaguya Shinomiya's breath hitched, and she was struck like lightning, freezing instantly.
What kind of eyes were those! Deep, icy!
Kaguya Shinomiya felt as if she were looking through those eyes and falling straight into the abyss of hell.
Everything around her disappeared, and only an overwhelming terror tightly enveloped her.
Fortunately, Lynn merely glanced at her indifferently, then lifted his feet and walked away at a leisurely pace.
Even so, Kaguya Shinomiya still felt as if a century had passed before her tense nerves finally relaxed slightly and her body gradually regained some warmth.
However... Kaguya Shinomiya bit her lip, her thighs instinctively tightening, and an indescribable strangeness welled up in her heart.
Who on earth was this guy?
He appeared in front of her like a ghost, and then threw her out.
Even... just with a look, he actually made her almost...
"Kaguya, are you okay?"
Fujiwara Chika squatted beside her, her eyes filled with worry, her clear eyes showing concern.
"Eek!" Kaguya Shinomiya let out a sudden, strange cry.
Fujiwara Chika's sudden voice made her heart jump violently, and her thighs clamped together even tighter!
"Kaguya?" Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"N-no, I'm fine."
Oh, it's just Fujiwara-san...
Kaguya Shinomiya calmed down, took a deep breath, shook her head, and then, holding onto the wall, stood up shakily.
She tried her best to maintain her usual icy expression, her tone as steady as possible, "I have things to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Leaving those words behind, Kaguya Shinomiya walked away with a strange gait.
Watching Kaguya Shinomiya's strange posture, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but worry and instinctively started to follow her.
Slap! Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by a hand.
"Eh?" Fujiwara Chika paused, then turned around to see Suou Yuki with an unreadable expression.
"Yuki?"
Suou Yuki narrowed her eyes, staring at a few water droplets on the corridor floor, clicked her tongue twice, and then said, "Chika, it's best not to follow her right now~"
"?"
Fujiwara Chika couldn't understand, but Suou Yuki didn't explain anything, just kept pulling her back to the Student Council Room.
On the other side, Kaguya Shinomiya sat on the toilet, her hand trembling as she dialed Hayasaka Ai's number.
"Young Lady?" After the call connected, Hayasaka Ai's voice sounded.
But... after a full minute of silence, Kaguya Shinomiya pursed her lips and whispered, "Hayasaka..."
"Please."
Saying this, Kaguya Shinomiya paused, then gritted her teeth, forcing herself to endure the shame, "Please buy me a new pair of panties and bring them over."
After speaking, Kaguya Shinomiya hurriedly hung up the phone and buried her reddened face in her arms.
D-damn it...
As the young lady of the Shinomiya Family, this was the first time she had made such a fool of herself!
But... Lynn's gaze immediately appeared in her mind.
"Ugh..." Kaguya Shinomiya's body shuddered, and the sound of scattered water droplets rang out.
On the other side, Hayasaka Ai listened to the busy signal on her phone, her eyes filled with confusion.
However...
Although I'm not sure what's going on, but...
Just doing as told will suffice.
...
On the way to Class 2-3, Asuna Yuuki said apologetically, "Sorry, Kaguya was a bit excessive."
Lynn's expression remained calm, and he said indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you."
Shinomiya...
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
He had heard this name a few times from Haruno before.
The business of the Familiars is developing very rapidly in modern times.
But it is precisely because of this rapid rise that they will inevitably be targeted by some people with ulterior motives.
Among them.
There is the Shinomiya Family.
It just so happened that meeting Kaguya Shinomiya today reminded him of this matter.
In that case...
Let's start by making an example out of the Shinomiya Family.
Let's use them to make an example.
Let certain people know that the demon's business is not so easily meddled with.
Class 2-3.
"This is the place."
Asuna Yuuki stopped at the door and said, "I hope she hasn't left yet."
While speaking, Asuna Yuuki slid open the door to Class 2-3.
With a rattle.
A clean and tidy classroom came into view.
A breeze blew in from the open window, gently fluttering the white curtains.
Golden sunlight poured in, outlining bright patches of light on the desks and the floor.
It added a touch of warmth to the entire classroom.
Shifting his gaze to the left.
At the very back of the classroom, a girl with long purple hair rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly out the window.
She was wearing the Shuchiin Academy uniform, with black over-the-knee socks on her legs, and her whole person seemed to radiate a mysterious and strange magnetic field.
Even though the classroom door was abruptly slid open with a "rattle," breaking the original tranquility.
She remained unmoved, her gaze firmly locked outside the window, as if nothing in the outside world could disturb her focus while she was immersed in her own world.
Until...
"Ah, that's great!"
Seeing that familiar figure, Asuna Yuuki couldn't hide her joy and said in a crisp voice, "Senjougahara hasn't left yet~"
Upon hearing this, Hitagi Senjougahara frowned imperceptibly, twisted her neck, and looked at Asuna Yuuki with a gaze as cold as frost.
When she saw Asuna Yuuki's face, she subconsciously clicked her tongue.
Apparently, she also recognized Asuna Yuuki as the woman who had discovered her secret earlier.
How unlucky, running into a troublemaker...
Hitagi Senjougahara muttered to herself, a hint of vigilance unconsciously rising in her eyes.
Asuna Yuuki walked over quickly with a patter of footsteps, "Senjougahara, you must have encountered a supernatural event!"
Her face was full of certainty, and then she said, "I've brought the Club President of the Supernatural Investigation Club, maybe he can solve the problem you're having~"
Supernatural Investigation Club?
Hitagi Senjougahara was taken aback. After a brief pause, she said coldly, "Not necessary."
Hitagi Senjougahara had also heard of this club.
But...
A Harem Club?
And you expect him to solve my problem?
"Don't worry."
Asuna Yuuki pressed her hand on Hitagi Senjougahara's shoulder and said with a serious look, "Club President Lynn is very capable!"
The scene in the Student Council Room made Asuna Yuuki firmly believe in Lynn's abilities.
Lynn is definitely a man who possesses supernatural powers!
Hitagi Senjougahara suddenly stood up, brushed off Asuna Yuuki's hand, and said, "Meddlesome."
After dropping this line, Hitagi Senjougahara suddenly lifted her foot, stepped on the chair to stand on the window, leaned backward, and fell straight down.
"Eh?"
Asuna Yuuki was shocked.
She hurried to the window and poked her head out to look down.
Then she saw Hitagi Senjougahara drifting down lightly in mid-air like a feather.
Asuna Yuuki: "..."
"Whew..."
She patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I almost forgot, Senjougahara has this setting too."
"But..."
Asuna Yuuki was a bit troubled, "In that case, isn't there absolutely no way to solve her problem?"
As Student Council President, Asuna Yuuki felt it was necessary for her to take responsibility for the students' physical and mental well-being.
Just as she was troubled, Lynn stared at the drifting Hitagi Senjougahara with interest, and then his lips moved slightly.
"Wind."
Whoosh—
As Lynn's voice fell, the breeze in the air seemed to have received some kind of command.
The wind gathered, and the airflow, like an invisible hand, quickly reached beneath Hitagi Senjougahara, gently lifted her up, and sent her back into Class 2-3.
"?"
Hitagi Senjougahara was completely bewildered, her eyes full of shock and confusion.
In this moment of helplessness, Hitagi Senjougahara fell towards Lynn and landed steadily in his arms.
Asuna Yuuki: "?"
What happened?
Lynn held Hitagi Senjougahara in a bridal carry and tossed her slightly.
"She really is light."
Hearing Lynn's voice, Hitagi Senjougahara came back to her senses, her hand subconsciously reaching under her skirt.
But...
Seeing Hitagi Senjougahara's intention, Lynn hooked the corner of his mouth, then gripped her tender waist with both hands and shook her up and down!
"Ugh..."
Hitagi Senjougahara felt dizzy for a moment, and then heard a clattering sound.
Pencils, erasers, triangles, rulers, and even dangerous things like scissors, utility knives, and staplers tumbled out from her skirt.
Seeing this, Asuna Yuuki's eyelids twitched, and she said in a complicated tone, "Senjougahara..."
"How on earth did you do that?"
How could an ordinary skirt manage to fit all these things inside?
Could it also be some kind of supernatural ability?
A while later.
Not until nothing else could be shaken out of Hitagi Senjougahara's skirt did Lynn stop his movements and put her on the ground.
Hitagi Senjougahara pursed her lips, staring at the 'weapons' scattered at her feet, and fell silent.
Moreover...
Hitagi Senjougahara took a deep breath, her blue eyes looking at Lynn, "What did you just do?"
Lynn waved his hand.
Whoosh—
A gust of wind blew up inside the classroom.
"Ah!"
Asuna Yuuki hurriedly pressed down on her own skirt.
But Hitagi Senjougahara, who was standing right in front of Lynn, couldn't react in time.
An updraft lifted her skirt, exposing the view inside to Lynn without reservation.
Surprisingly stylish...
Lynn evaluated in his heart, and then smiled, "Are you referring to this?"
Hitagi Senjougahara: "..."
The corner of her eye twitched.
How could this guy be so calm!
However...
Lynn's methods made her understand what Asuna Yuuki meant earlier by "very capable."
Is he a fellow person who has encountered oddities like her?
But...
Hitagi Senjougahara took a deep breath, her gaze calm, "It sounds like you are here to help me?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Asuna Yuuki nodded, her eyes serious.
But...
"Sorry."
Hitagi Senjougahara crossed her arms, her voice cold, "I don't really trust humans, so..."
"Please leave."
"?"
Asuna Yuuki was stunned.
Doesn't trust humans?
"Oh?"
Lynn suddenly spoke up, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"That's quite a coincidence."
This time, it was Hitagi Senjougahara who was confused.
Lynn leaned against the desk, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, and said softly, "As it happens, I am not human..."
