"Pfft!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately spat out her drink when she saw the person who had suddenly appeared. After spitting out the drink, she coughed several times while looking at the person in front of her with a confused expression. Were these people humans or ghosts?
Appearing out of nowhere like this, how was that any different from a ghost? Don't scare people in broad daylight; people can die from fright, you know? Thinking about the name of this club, she couldn't help but wonder whether she had encountered some supernatural or strange phenomenon.
Although she knew this guy had a few tricks up his sleeve, was he really doing things like this?
Countless thoughts appeared in Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind at this moment, because so many people appearing out of nowhere made the entire scene far too bizarre.
Shiro saw that the other party had appeared and openly greeted her.
"Yo, Shizuka."
Hiratsuka Shizuka, seeing that face which was unbelievably suitable for punching, immediately felt her teeth itch with anger. After all, that feeling and that casual voice could not be mistaken, could not be mistaken.
It really was him, because only this guy could give her such a feeling. That meant she hadn't encountered any ghosts or illusions earlier.
"Shouldn't you explain to me what the hell is going on right now, you little brat?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka gritted her teeth and stared at Shiro, her eyes flashing with disbelief. Although she had felt that he had some tricks up his sleeve and that many things about him were unclear, it turned out that he himself was this incredible?
Hiratsuka Shizuka actually knew some things. For example, this guy had recently gained enormous notoriety, especially for secretly killing many people from the underworld. She knew a lot because her family had also come from the underworld. Members of her family had also told her to stay away from this person, because he was now very dangerous.
Honestly, she had thought the people behind this guy were the ones acting, but after seeing him appear out of nowhere like this, one thought came to her mind: was it possible that this guy had done all of it himself? After all, all those people had one thing in common: it looked like they had received orders to cause trouble for this guy, but were killed before they even had the chance to act.
Putting everything else aside, just with this mysterious ability to appear out of nowhere, let's call it a spatial ability, it seemed there was no difficulty at all in killing those people. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Shiro didn't expect the other party to think that much and placed the packed snacks in front of them.
"What else could it be? I was bored and had nothing to do, so I went out to eat. These are the specialties of that shop. Since I knew you were here, I packed some for you too."
Shiro said that in a completely indifferent tone.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt the urge to punch this guy after hearing that. He clearly knew she wasn't talking about that, was he trying to play dumb with her?
"Am I talking about that? I'm asking you, what the hell are you doing right now?"
"You're using that ability to go out and eat, have you lost your mind? Not to mention doing it in front of so many people. Haven't you already caused enough trouble recently?"
Although Hiratsuka Shizuka was shocked, what needed to be said right now was something else. Shiro, who should have understood, indeed understood. After hearing her words, he shook his head, looking completely uninterested.
"What do you mean? I know very well, but there's one thing you need to understand: I simply don't care. After all, if they find out, then let them find out. Some people guess there's someone behind me, some guess it's me. Nobody can pinpoint it exactly. But is there a possibility that I never even planned to hide anything?"
"At worst, it's just a fight. I'm a very reasonable person. Actually, I'm waiting for those people to come knocking at my door. When they appear, I'd really like to see what level the Onmyoji or spellcasters in this country are at."
"Anyway, I'm not interested in this at all. After all, it's just a fight, and my victory is guaranteed, alright?"
Shiro spoke with complete confidence at this moment.
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at his confident expression and didn't say anything more. After all, it could be said that this was a matter between their kind of people. At the same time, she was amazed. This guy's background was completely ordinary, so how had he suddenly turned into this kind of being? Earlier she had thought he had some tricks up his sleeve, but now it seemed he was definitely one of the hidden players behind the scenes.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to meddle in your divine battles. Just don't drag innocent people into it."
Shiro shrugged after hearing that.
"That's not something I decide. And as for dragging innocents in, you can relax, I'm not that kind of person. It's just hard to say whether those people have such a bottom line."
Shiro's words caused a certain violent teacher to fall silent. Then she took a sip of sake and spoke in an incredulous tone.
"No matter what, those people can't possibly be that bottomless, right? After all, they still have some pride."
Shiro looked at her incredulous expression and shrugged.
"That topic is a little difficult to talk about."
"After all, some people look magnificent on the outside, but are completely rotten inside."
"And those people look like protectors, but who knows what their real intentions are."
"They'll deliberately classify you as an unfortunate accident."
"So everything is very hard to say."
Hiratsuka Shizuka agreed with this, because those were facts. Then she looked at these people and asked in a curious tone:
"Then, aren't you afraid that the people around you will get dragged into all this?"
These people, who had been enjoying the gossip, seemed to realize that they themselves had now been dragged into the story as well.
Shiro shook his head in response.
"Do you think I'm the kind of idiot who didn't prepare anything?"
"Not to mention that they're all at least respectable figures now and know very well that certain methods cannot be used. Using them would mean completely taking off the mask, and then nobody would look good."
"So relax, even if we really do take off the masks, I've already made preparations."
Before this, Shiro had already established several rules, ensuring that these people would not be dragged into everything. Simply put, even if those people would normally have some ideas, they would still become idiotic villains, as if cursed. Moreover, he wasn't using such methods; it was simply about not dragging these people into his own troubles. Because of that, something like harming his own people would absolutely never happen to him.
