"What do you want?"
Niguredou Yuria bit her lip lightly and looked up at Lin.
Lin smiled, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly:
"You don't want others to know about your peeping, do you?"
An invisible Concealment Card manifested.
A faint power of concealment enveloped him and Niguredou Yuria; passersby would now pay them little mind.
"Hah???"
Hearing Lin's words, Niguredou Yuria froze for a moment.
Something about those words sounded off.
However, a thought suddenly struck her, and she looked at Lin with her hands on her hips:
"Hey, so what if I looked? I just think your girlfriend is pretty. Is that a crime? Looking a few times isn't illegal."
"But you, you actually took a picture of me without permission. Hmph, don't think just because you're handsome you can take sneak shots."
"Believe it or not, I'll call the police!"
Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Didn't expect her brain to work that fast.
So, he smiled faintly and said:
"Peeping isn't illegal, that's true."
"But you say I took a sneak shot of you—do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence..."
Niguredou Yuria paused and looked at Lin's phone. "Didn't you just say you secretly took a picture of me?"
"So the photo in your phone is the evidence of the sneak shot."
"Oh..."
Lin smiled. "Did I say that? Can anyone prove it?"
"You..."
Niguredou Yuria was getting a bit exasperated.
She turned her head to look around.
Absolutely no one was paying attention to them.
So she looked at the phone in Lin's hand.
Although she had the urge to snatch the phone and find the evidence directly, she sized Lin up.
Hmm, the size difference is too great.
Feels like if he punched me once, I'd cry for a long time.
Even though she felt she was different from ordinary people because she could see evil spirits, her physical combat ability wasn't outstanding.
Lin was tall and big; her small frame was absolutely no match for him.
Forget it. Hmph. o(ヘo )
"I'm done talking to you."
Thinking this, Niguredou Yuria glared lightly at Lin, puffed out her cheeks slightly, and prepared to leave.
"See you next time."
Lin smiled faintly and continued walking toward Yotsuya Miko and the others.
At the same time, he dispersed the power of concealment.
"See you next time?"
Niguredou Yuria, having just taken two steps, froze at these words and couldn't help but turn around to look at Lin.
Only to find that he was walking toward her target.
Her ruby-like eyes darted around; hesitation flashed past for a second before she changed positions to continue observing in secret.
Lin sensed it.
But he paid her no mind.
He arrived in front of Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana, greeting them with a smile:
"Miko, Yurikawa."
"Lin, you're here."
Seeing Lin, a smile immediately appeared on Yotsuya Miko's face.
Her way of addressing Lin had also changed with the passage of time.
"Lin-san."
Yurikawa Hana's eyes flickered; her face flushed red, and she didn't dare look directly at Lin.
Her heartbeat faintly accelerated.
Lin smiled at her, then looked at the skewers Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were holding and said:
"Smells good. I want some too."
"Which one of you is going to feed me?"
"Eh..."
Hearing Lin's words, Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana froze.
Then Yotsuya Miko reacted, glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Let Hana do it."
"Ah, me?!"
Yurikawa Hana's eyes went wide.
Her face, already faintly flushed, instantly turned into a peach.
A ripe one at that.
The shyness in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Lin exchanged a glance with Yotsuya Miko, then looked at Yurikawa Hana.
Smiling, he said, "Then I'll trouble you, Yurikawa."
Yurikawa Hana: "!!!"
Wait, I haven't even agreed yet, and you two already decided?
"Ah..."
Lin smiled and opened his mouth.
Like a chick waiting to be fed.
"I..."
Hesitating, but seeing Lin still holding his mouth open, she finally blushed and extended the skewer in her hand.
Lin took a bite.
Pulling off the top half of the skewer.
He chewed a few times, swallowed, and smiled at Yurikawa Hana. "Delicious."
"!!!"
Yurikawa Hana blushed furiously.
Her little heart pounded wildly.
Only now did she realize that she had eaten from that skewer just a moment ago.
So that was an indirect kiss with Lin!
The thought made Yurikawa Hana feel like her face was burning.
A strange feeling rose in her heart.
Nervousness, shyness, happiness...
Seeing this, the corners of Lin's mouth lifted slightly. He pulled a skewer from Yotsuya Miko's hand and held it to her lips:
"Miko, say 'ah'."
Yotsuya Miko smiled, opened her mouth, and took a bite of a chicken wing.
Then Lin took a bite as well.
"??!!"
Observing in secret, Niguredou Yuria saw this scene and was dumbfounded, just like some of the passersby around them.
No, seriously, what is the relationship between you three?
She feeds him, he feeds her.
Are they purely just good friends or?
If they are just very good friends.
Then acting like this between a guy and girls is a bit too ambiguous.
If they are a couple, could it be...
Niguredou Yuria thought of the words Lin had said to her at the very beginning.
Peeping at his girlfriend.
At first, she assumed it was one of these two.
Could it be both of them?
That... surely that's impossible...
Ignoring the irrelevant speculations of the passersby, Lin and the other two chatted for a bit and walked toward the barbecue shop.
Seeing the three of them leave.
Niguredou Yuria hesitated for a moment but chose to follow.
After all, growing up all these years, she had finally found someone who might very well be a companion of the same kind.
She couldn't just let this chance slip by so easily.
As the three walked, the life energy overflowing from a sated Yurikawa Hana attracted an evil spirit.
Niguredou Yuria's eyes trembled.
This evil spirit was somewhat strong; she could only see its rough outline.
Seeing the evil spirit approaching Lin and the others, she opened her eyes slightly wider.
Staring straight at Yotsuya Miko.
A look of anticipation appeared in her eyes.
Yotsuya Miko glanced at the approaching evil spirit out of the corner of her eye.
She looked at Lin, then inadvertently looked toward the evil spirit.
Lin's expression didn't change at all.
A strand of invisible psychokinesis shot out, and the evil spirit slowly approaching Yurikawa Hana dissipated instantly.
"???"
Niguredou Yuria's eyes instantly widened, and she stood there, stunned.
What happened?
What just happened?
How did that evil spirit suddenly vanish into thin air?
"Did she do it?"
Niguredou Yuria looked at Yotsuya Miko, bewildered and uncertain.
But she hadn't seen Yotsuya Miko make any move just now; she had merely happened to look at the evil spirit.
It couldn't be that she killed it just by looking at it, right?
Frowning, she tried hard to recall Yotsuya Miko's every movement just now.
Before looking at the evil spirit, she seemed to have glanced at Lin?
Could it be him?
Niguredou Yuria looked at Lin.
But she found that Lin seemed to have no reaction whatsoever to the matter of the evil spirit.
Moreover, aside from being a bit taller, stronger, and more handsome, Lin appeared to be just an ordinary person.
Common, unremarkable.
He didn't feel like one of "us."
Just then.
"Hmm??!!"
Niguredou Yuria suddenly froze, then felt a sense of astonishment.
Did Lin just glance in my direction?
Did he also seem to smile at me?
