"That person is... Miyamoto-san from the neighboring class who just transferred here not long ago, right?"
"Does she know Shin-san? Why did she come looking for Shin-san so soon after transferring?"
"Could it be that she's interested in supernatural events and wants to join the Supernatural Research Club?"
"But she's not holding a club application form..."
Since Shin was now a highly popular figure in the class and even in the school, Miyamoto Rei coming to find Shin also triggered a round of discussion among the classmates.
Miyamoto Rei, who was already a bit nervous, became even more tense when she saw the students in the classroom all discussing her and Shin.
Actually, Miyamoto Rei wasn't the kind of person with a timid personality. On the contrary, as an important member of the spear arts club at her previous school, her personality was actually quite sharp.
However, this time was different after all. The Shinshe had to face probably wasn't an ordinary person, so naturally Miyamoto Rei would feel nervous.
Her father, Miyamoto Tadashi, had reminded Miyamoto Rei more than once to properly thank Shin, saying that it was Shin who had changed their lives and such...
"It's Miyamoto-san from the neighboring class."
Katou Megumi also saw Miyamoto Rei standing at the back door of the classroom.
It had to be said, as a character from a work jokingly called "Apocalypse of the Dead," her figure was indeed somewhat more outstanding than characters from other works.
At least after Katou Megumi saw the two masses at Miyamoto Rei's chest that obviously exceeded her peers somewhat, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of vigilance on her face:
"Does Shin know her?"
"I don't know her. This is also the first time I'm seeing her."
Shin answered with a smile. This statement wasn't a lie—setting aside the situation he'd seen in a certain work before transmigrating, this really was his first time formally meeting Miyamoto Rei.
"However, I can probably guess what she's looking for me for."
Kiryuu had already told Shin about Miyamoto Tadashi's situation before. After all, every time the Kiryuu-gumi created Stand users, they had to report to Shin.
Moreover, Miyamoto Tadashi was the police bureau chief. Kiryuu naturally couldn't possibly hide his situation.
So Shin had long known that Miyamoto Rei's father had already become one of the Kiryuu-gumi's people. Then Miyamoto Rei coming to find him must also be related to this matter.
"So, what do you need from me?"
Shin walked out of the classroom, looked at Miyamoto Rei standing in front of him, and asked her.
Although he knew that Miyamoto Rei looking for him must be related to Miyamoto Tadashi, Shin truly wasn't very clear about her specific intention.
Did Miyamoto Tadashi want to express gratitude, or did Miyamoto Tadashi feel fear and want to withdraw from the Kiryuu-gumi, or was it for some other reason?
After all, Shin hadn't met Miyamoto Tadashi, and moreover, in the original work, Miyamoto Tadashi had never appeared. Shin didn't understand that police bureau chief's character design either.
"Um... could we change locations to talk?"
Miyamoto Rei originally wanted to directly explain her intention to Shin, but she hesitated, looking at the doorway of Shin's classroom.
Quite a few people were staring at them. Obviously, many people were curious about exactly what relationship Shin and Miyamoto Rei had.
Although Shin already had ambiguous relationships with many girls, and even girls from other schools like Shuchiin had proactively come to find Shin.
But at least Shinhadn't officially announced dating anyone, so people at school still considered Shin to be single for now.
If someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere like Cheng Yaojin and took Shin down, it would surely become a topic of conversation at school afterward.
So these people kept staring at Shin and Miyamoto Rei, wanting to see what they would talk about.
In this situation, Miyamoto Rei naturally wasn't convenient to speak—after all, she had already learned some incredible things from Miyamoto Tadashi.
Stand users and such... this kind of thing presumably wasn't something that could be casually said in front of others, right?
"Looks like you also learned quite a bit from your dad."
Hearing Miyamoto Rei say this, Shin knew that Miyamoto Tadashi must have told Miyamoto Rei some things.
Since that was the case, Shin also nodded, going along with Miyamoto Rei's words.
"Then let's go to the Supernatural Research Club. No one can approach there."
Hearing this, Miyamoto Rei was immediately stunned, because normally every time she wanted to go to the Supernatural Research Club, she couldn't make it for various reasons.
But now it sounded like the reason she couldn't approach the Supernatural Research Club wasn't because of her bad luck, but because Shin had done something?
Thinking of this, Miyamoto Rei couldn't help but feel her spirits lift—being able to do such things, Shin's abilities were obviously much more exaggerated than she imagined.
Although her father had repeatedly warned Miyamoto Rei that Shin's abilities were much stronger than she imagined, only at this moment did Miyamoto Rei realize the meaning of those words.
"So this is the Supernatural Research Club..."
Following Shin into the Supernatural Research Club, Miyamoto Rei raised her head to look at the environment inside the club room and subconsciously sighed.
It wasn't that there was anything strange in the Supernatural Research Club. In fact, the internal structure of the Supernatural Research Club wasn't much different from other club rooms.
As a club classroom, the inside of the Supernatural Research Club was even a bit too... simple.
Besides the basic desks, chairs, blackboard and such, there were almost no signs of club activities visible.
Like the light music club having instruments placed around, or the literature club having books piled up—such situations didn't exist in this club.
If it weren't for the Supernatural Research Club sign posted at the door, one probably wouldn't realize this was a club upon walking in.
Miyamoto Rei had originally thought there might be some props related to supernatural things in the classroom, like ouija boards, crystal balls and such.
However, her sigh just now was only because she had been unable to approach this place before, and this time with Shin leading the way, she finally walked into this classroom.
"So, what did you want to say?"
Shin pulled over a chair and sat down, looking at Miyamoto Rei, ready to hear what she had to say.
Seeing this, Miyamoto Rei first nodded, then said to Shin with a serious expression:
"First is to express gratitude to Shin-sama... Thanks to you, our family has finally escaped from our previous predicament."
Although calling Shin, a classmate about the same age as herself, "sama" was somewhat awkward.
But as long as she thought about how Shin wasn't an ordinary person, Miyamoto Rei felt this form of address wasn't impossible to say—after all, her father at home kept saying "Shin-sama" with every other word.
Miyamoto Rei's ears had grown calluses from hearing it at home, so naturally she had long accepted this form of address.
"Just expressing gratitude?"
Shin raised an eyebrow, looking at Miyamoto Rei, knowing that her specifically wanting to find a place with no one must not be as simple as merely expressing gratitude.
