Half an hour passed in a flash.
After simply tidying up the slightly messy storage room, Lin left the school together with Tainaka Ritsu and her three friends.
After leaving the school, the five of them went their separate ways.
Buzz buzz buzz, the phone vibrated.
Yotsuya Miko sent a private message.
"Is club activity over?"
Lin typed a reply: "It's over. I'm on my way home now. What about you and Yurikawa, Miko?"
In the past few days, he had also run into Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana at school, and Yurikawa Hana was still hesitating.
Hesitating over Yotsuya Miko's suggestion.
Therefore, after seeing him, Yurikawa Hana's face would turn red; she would whisper a greeting and then turn around to leave quickly.
Yotsuya Miko had quietly told him about this two days ago.
He was somewhat surprised when he found out.
So, he happily rewarded Yotsuya Miko with a large ham sausage.
In response, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but roll her eyes, crying out that it was too much to handle.
Yotsuya Miko: "Hana and I are still out. We're at a food street in Nishiarai, Adachi Ward."
Lin: "Did Yurikawa find something delicious again?"
Yotsuya Miko: "A barbecue shop. We've eaten, and the taste is indeed quite good. It wasn't a wasted trip."
"We are still here now, do you want to come over?"
Lin: "Okay, I'll head over right away. It just so happens I can buy some to bring back for Tohru and the others to taste."
Yotsuya Miko: "Mm."
After ending the brief chat with Lin, Yotsuya Miko put away her phone and looked at Yurikawa Hana:
"Hana, Lin is coming to find us later."
"Eh..."
Yurikawa Hana, who was eating a grilled skewer, paused her movements upon hearing this, her eyes widening slightly.
Her fair cheeks suddenly flushed red.
A touch of shyness emerged in her eyes.
Ever since Yotsuya Miko said those words last time, every time she thought of Lin, she couldn't help her heart beating faster.
Forcing herself not to think about him.
However, it was useless.
Every time she saw Yotsuya Miko, if her mind wasn't occupied with other things, she would suddenly remember.
In the end, having no other way, she could only shift more of her attention to enjoying food.
Turning the shyness in her heart into appetite.
As long as she was eating, she wouldn't overthink.
One could only say, as expected of a foodie; the solution fit perfectly.
Seeing Yurikawa Hana dazed, Yotsuya Miko's eyes moved slightly.
She leaned in closer and lowered her voice a bit, saying to her:
"Hana, about the matter I mentioned last time, have you thought it over?"
"I, that..."
Yurikawa Hana's face turned a bit redder upon hearing this, speaking hesitantly.
How could this kind of thing happen so fast?
Yotsuya Miko took her appearance into account, her gaze flashing.
It seemed she needed to add some fuel to the fire to make her decide completely.
Meanwhile, at a place a dozen meters away from the two.
A figure resembling an elementary school student was hiding in a concealed corner, quietly observing Yotsuya Miko and the other.
To be precise, it was Yotsuya Miko.
"This guy definitely, certainly isn't an ordinary person!"
Thinking of the scene she accidentally witnessed before, thoughts emerged in her mind.
On the other side, Bunkyo Ward.
After ending the chat with Yotsuya Miko, Lin put away his phone. Invisible spiritual perception spread out with specific intent.
He found the location where Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were currently at.
A transparent Concealment Card emerged.
The power of concealment centered on him, instantly covering a radius of a hundred meters.
A Space Card appeared.
Lin vanished from his spot.
The surrounding passersby didn't feel anything strange about this, as if Lin didn't exist in their eyes.
Adachi Ward, somewhere in Nishiarai.
Lin's figure silently appeared in an unmanned alley.
Beside him, an evil spirit was standing there in a daze.
Under the magical effect of the power of concealment, Lin's sudden appearance next to it didn't attract its attention.
Lin didn't even spare it a glance.
The next moment, this low-level evil spirit turned into wisps of black energy and dissipated.
The evil spirit expressed: "???"
The power of concealment slowly dispersed.
Lin walked out of the small alley, heading towards Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana, who were twenty-something meters away.
Because the power of concealment didn't disperse instantly, Lin walking out of the alley didn't attract attention.
"Eh..."
A sneaky figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Lin looked at the other party from behind, his eyes moving slightly.
A new entry was completed in the Codex.
Spiritual perception probed.
Hmm, her life energy is a cut above ordinary people.
Obviously not an ordinary person either.
But only a little bit special.
Far less special than Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.
Based on the other party's blonde twintails with pink tips, as well as the petite body shape and the abnormality on her body.
Lin had already guessed her identity.
Niguredou Yuria.
That high school girl with the body of an elementary schooler in Mieruko-chan who also possesses a certain degree of spiritual vision ability...
Her spiritual vision ability isn't strong.
She can only clearly see very weak evil spirits, like little old men.
For slightly stronger evil spirits, she can only see a rough outline.
Anything stronger, she can't see.
Retracting his spiritual perception, Lin blinked, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile as he walked towards the other party.
His footsteps lightly arrived behind her.
"Hey."
While speaking, his right hand patted her left shoulder.
"!!!"
Niguredou Yuria, who was concentrating on observing Yotsuya Miko, had her body instantly tense up and stand at attention from this pat.
She almost couldn't hold back a scream.
Her little heart thumped wildly.
After coming back to her senses, she hurriedly turned around to see who it was.
"So tall..."
This was her first reaction when she turned and saw the figure in front of her.
"So handsome!"
This was her reaction after raising her head to look up and seeing Lin's appearance clearly.
She couldn't help but be a bit dazed.
At this moment, Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, feigning an expressionless face as he said:
"Little sister, why are you secretly staring at my girlfriend?"
"Peeping at your girlfriend?"
Niguredou Yuria was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
When did she peep at this handsome guy's girlfriend?
Hmm? Wait!
She suddenly thought of Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.
In other words, one of these two is this handsome guy's girlfriend, and her peeping was discovered.
No, what peeping?
She was clearly observing in secret.
How could it be called peeping?
Thinking of this, she immediately feigned confusion: "Huh, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."
"I'm just standing here waiting for someone. You can't say I'm peeping just because I looked at others."
"Besides, I'm a girl. Why would a girl peep at another girl?"
Seeing Niguredou Yuria lying through her teeth, Lin's eyes moved slightly, a trace of amusement flashing in them.
On the surface, he frowned, feigning coldness:
"I was watching the whole time just now, and I have evidence."
Saying that, he took out his mobile phone.
Niguredou Yuria was stunned seeing this.
Could it be that the other party filmed her secretly observing appearance?
Dammit.
She was too careless.
"What do you want?"
She raised her head to meet Lin's gaze.
