"Don't worry about it."

"This coffee is on you."

He took out a stack of calming talismans from his pocket and handed them to Yotsuya Miko, not giving her a chance to speak.

Sakurai left the coffee shop directly.

Since I drank Yotsuya Miko's coffee and accepted the payment,

Getting things done is Sakurai's principle.

Not to mention...

This is the agreed-upon commission.

From now on——

Sakurai decided to take on the responsibility that originally fell on Yotsuya Miko's side.

You idiot who's asking for trouble.

Sakurai made this self-deprecating remark.

Well...

so what.

Because Yotsuya Miko is his assistant.

His men are not to be bullied by just anyone.

You think you're some kind of divine fox? If I don't peel off your fox skin, I'll twist your head off and let you kick it around like a ball.

Sakurai, with his sharp edge fully revealed, thought to himself.

So...

Next comes the glamorous...

Let's make a scene.

Sakurai smiled, closed her eyes, and then opened them again.

......

......

Sakurai went to school alone again today.

Carrying a shoulder bag, Sakurai walked steadily toward the school.

To reiterate, if it weren't for Kirisu Mafuyu, he would absolutely never have gone to school.

Thinking this, Sakurai had unknowingly reached the classroom door.

Seeing the sign for 1-B by the door, Sakurai's eyes flickered, and without thinking too much, he prepared to go inside.

Then he bumped into a girl who was less than 1.5 meters tall.

"I remember that the school should prohibit unauthorized personnel from entering and leaving at will."

Sakurai reached out and pressed his hand on the girl's shoulder to prevent her from falling to the ground, and asked his question directly.

The girl who came out of Sakurai's class was named Ogata Riju. After bumping into the little boy and experiencing a supernatural event, she went to the Ruri Shrine to exorcise the evil spirit and had just returned to normal school life.

Having had a similar experience, Fumino Furuhashi unexpectedly learned of Sakurai's existence. Realizing that he was the boy who saved her, she came to Class 1-B to express her gratitude to Sakurai and apologize at the same time.

Her reaction that day was rather rude.

It's worth mentioning that, because of her height, Ogata Rizu appears to Sakurai as a little girl of a few years old.

So he was puzzled as to why Ogata Rizu was here, wearing the Ichinose High School uniform.

Did she secretly wear her sister's clothes or something?

What a reckless child!

15. I'm hungry, can I order now?

After blinking several times, Rizu Ogata realized that she was being misunderstood again because of her height.

"I'm in the same grade as you."

Pushing up her glasses, Ogata Rizu, her chubby cheeks puffed out, said this somewhat angrily.

She was very unhappy with Sakurai's judgment based on appearance.

"is it?"

"Then let's assume that's how it is."

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

Did it really exist?

A girl whose height is not ideal, but who has an overly developed certain body part.

In terms of results, it's really quite remarkable.

Sakurai remembered that this was the drawing on a single volume of a supernatural book that a fat otaku had once dropped.

Out of curiosity, I flipped through it briefly before handing it over to a shady dealer for recycling.

At that time, he had a feeling that after eating it, he would lose some unimportant but indispensable things.

Well...

This matter is not something to worry about for now. Sakurai glanced at Ogata Riju, who looked sullen.

It was clear that the other person had probably come here for some reason.

Moreover, there is a considerable possibility that they came looking for me.

But what does that have to do with me?

Sakurai didn't think he had anything to talk about with this girl.

He did save the other person once, that's true, but who says that saving someone means you have to be responsible for them to the end?

If that's the case, then he doesn't have to do anything else all day long except take care of the people he helps.

You don't need to do anything else.

This has become a joke.

Sakurai isn't that bored.

There's no time to waste.

Sakurai readily expressed his apology, took a step to the right to enter the classroom, and bumped right into Ogata Rizu, who had done the same thing.

Sakurai was speechless as he caught Ogata Rizu, who had lost her balance and was falling backward.

"So, is there anything I can help you with? If not, please excuse me, class is about to start."

Sakurai's doubts?

"Um... thank you very much."

"Thank you for saving me."

"Also, I'm sorry..."

"My reaction at that time was a bit too extreme."

Ogata Riju, having regained her balance, said in a low voice, her face slightly flushed.

During this time, she felt ashamed.

I've always wanted to express my apology to Sakurai.

Therefore, after learning about Sakurai's existence from Fumino Furuhashi, she couldn't wait to be discharged from the hospital.

"I didn't take it to heart. It's normal for ordinary people to have a stress reaction after suddenly encountering an event."

"Is this why you came here to ambush me?"

Sakurai lowered his head and asked again, this time to be sure.

"Yes, I'm not very good at interpersonal communication. Furuhashi said that it's best to just say thank you directly."

"so..."

"thank you very much."

"And, um..."

Do you have time after school?

"Dad wants to see you."

As she bowed ninety degrees, Riju Ogata's face grew even redder.

My heart is racing, what does that feel like?

Rizu Ogata couldn't understand her own thoughts.

"Really? I received your thanks."

Sakurai patted Ogata Riju on the shoulder, then walked past her and into the classroom.

See you after school.

......

......

"Let's go."

Carrying a shoulder bag, Sakurai passed by Ogata Rizu at the school gate and called out to her.

"Yes."

Pushing up her glasses, Rizu Ogata, who had legally left early with the math teacher's permission, naturally followed in Sakurai's footsteps.

"Speaking of which direction your home is in."
