Yui Kotegawa became angry as soon as she thought about it. Ever since that day, this guy would occasionally corner her and take advantage of the opportunity, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He was also shameless, forcibly doing many improper things even though they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend or anything like that.
The last time was even worse. The two of them had been in the gymnasium organizing things when she fell onto a mat right on top of him. This guy immediately seized the opportunity and almost crossed the line.
And now he was talking as if it had been something trivial. She would be crazy not to be angry.
"Cough, cough, cough, I couldn't help myself in that situation. A secluded place, a man and a woman, plus you're so beautiful. I'd be crazy to resist. And in the end, nothing happened anyway, right?"
"After all, if I hadn't shown that kind of reaction, it would have been disrespectful to your appearance and attractiveness."
Yui Kotegawa looked at this guy, whom she had long considered an absolute destroyer of order, with his shameless attitude, and literally laughed out of anger.
"So in the end, it's my fault?"
Yui Kotegawa couldn't help grinding her teeth at that moment. Honestly, ever since she could remember, because of her personality, no one had ever shown her affection or attraction so directly and openly. It had given her a completely new experience. However, the biggest problem was that the person in question was a pervert, and the most shameless type she had ever met.
That was why such a shameless statement only made her even angrier.
"Of course not, this is my personal problem."
Shiro knew very well that he absolutely couldn't argue with a person like her in that way; he could only take the blame himself.
"Cough, cough, cough, in short, you can think of it as me making a little protection, but I didn't expect it to actually activate. And I've just upgraded it, so even if you run into something like this again, you won't get hurt. Of course, it would be best if you never encountered anything like this at all."
Shiro added that sentence at that moment. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it was best if such things never happened in the first place.
Yui Kotegawa nodded after hearing that, then tried to sit up and moved her body, discovering that there were no longer any problems.
She was immediately astonished.
"What method did you use? It's even more miraculous than medicine."
"Just a little trick, nothing worth mentioning. As long as a person isn't dead, I can bring them back. Of course, there's a condition: it has to be someone I want to save. So don't even think about asking me to help if someone else gets into trouble, alright?"
Shiro gave her a warning in advance.
The corner of Yui Kotegawa's mouth twitched slightly when she heard that.
"Do you really have to add that sentence specifically?"
"Emmm, I think it's necessary. After all, there are quite a few 'saints' around at this age. You should know that I'm not that kind of good person. For me, there's only one rule: I help and save those I want to help and save. As for everyone else, I honestly don't care. After all, you've been in contact with me for quite some time and you know what kind of person I am."
Yui Kotegawa had to admit that this was completely true. She had known him for quite a while and understood very well what he was like. The words "good person" were definitely not something that could be used to describe him.
"Thank you."
Yui Kotegawa spoke those two words, causing Shiro to pause.
"You're actually thanking me? Did the sun rise in the west?"
Yui Kotegawa had been forcibly putting up with his physical harassment for quite some time. Therefore, this kind of verbal teasing no longer mattered to her that much.
"Do you really see me as someone who doesn't even know how to say thank you?"
Shiro immediately began shaking his head like a rattlesnake.
"Not at all. It's just, how should I put it? In my mind, you're still angry at me, so you should be acting cold and tsundere, letting out a little 'hmph.'"
Yui Kotegawa looked at Shiro, who even imitated a cold expression and let out a little "hmph," and immediately felt even more speechless. Then she spoke in a tone full of helplessness.
"What kind of image of me do you actually have in your head?"
"Isn't it natural to say thank you when someone helps you? Not to mention that I'm fully aware of how much you've helped me."
Yui Kotegawa seriously suspected that this guy had confused her with someone else; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a mistaken image of her. One was one, two was two—that was her personality.
And not to mention that she knew very well that the protection he had left behind had saved her. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it life-saving. So what was wrong with thanking him? She didn't even know how she could repay him for this.
Last time, this guy had saved her, and in return he had almost completely taken advantage of the opportunity to harass her during that period. Now there was another life-saving incident. She felt as though she was in danger again.
But if she ignored this matter, she would feel guilty.
In the end, it turned out like this again, and it was all this guy's fault. Did he really have to be so perverted?
Shiro was somewhat stunned by her deadly glare.
Why is she looking at me angrily again for no reason? I don't think I've done anything wrong.
"No, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Pervert."
Shiro looked somewhat confused when he heard that. Since he didn't understand, he decided to think about it. After figuring it out, a sudden realization dawned on him.
"Ah, so you want to repay me, but you don't know how, and on top of that, I'm too lustful, so you feel like you're in danger, right?"
As soon as Shiro said that, she instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around herself, as if defending herself against a pervert.
As though that could stop him from reading her thoughts.
Shiro looked at her and felt very helpless.
"At best, you're only defending yourself from my gaze; that doesn't change anything."
"Besides, I already know what you're thinking, so what's the point of this now?"
Only then did Yui Kotegawa realize how foolish she had been just now. After all, this guy had already seen through her. Or rather, he had read her thoughts through some unknown means. This time, she had truly gotten herself into trouble.
After all, that person was not a good person. Now that he knew what she was thinking, he would very likely immediately make some outrageous demand.
