The idea is good, but I have other plans, so I'd like to ask Shirakawa Haruka to switch to another position.

"You should play something else. Sometimes I, as a support, fail to protect the marksman."

"Huh? Well..."

Although Shirakawa Haruka was somewhat surprised, she still agreed.

As for why the marksman is sometimes not protected, I have to mention the Kun Claw Tumor that I just learned!

…………

"Victory!"

Seeing the exploding crystal on the other side, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and put my mind at ease.

"Wow, that's amazing! You actually stole it!" Shirakawa Haruka's eyes sparkled as she looked at me, her gaze full of admiration.

"Hmph, of course."

Meeting Shirakawa Haruka's admiring gaze, I was filled with pride, but then I couldn't help but complain when I thought of the marksman in the previous game, "If it weren't for that actor marksman, we probably would have won this game already."

This game was going very well, but then the Tiger Talisman buff kicked in, and our marksman suddenly went crazy, frequently losing points and squandering all our advantage, almost causing us to be turned around.

Fortunately, I quickly changed my mindset: if we can't beat them, we can steal their crystal. In the end, I managed to steal it while the enemy wasn't paying attention.

Without my protection, the marksman naturally achieved a terrible score. Before exiting the results page, I didn't forget to report the marksman.

As expected, the report failed.

But it's okay, it's just a game anyway.

Just as I was about to start the next game, I found a new email in my inbox.

Upon opening the link, it showed negative game activity, resulting in a -9 credit score.

"Honor of Kings is so much fun! It's the most fun game in the world!"

252. That kind of thing is simply impossible...

"The King of Glory's Master Qing Tang will never wrong any bad person, nor will he let any good person go unpunished."

After I finished chanting, looking at the screen showing that my credit score had been deducted, I felt my face burning hot, probably flushed.

"Damn it, I'm not going to fight! What kind of garbage point system is this? Super-feeding marksmen don't get points deducted, but if I steal the crystal, it's considered a passive defeat!"

I threw my phone aside, feeling incredibly angry.

Seeing this, Shirakawa Haruka couldn't help but smile wryly. She could only sit down next to me, rub my shoulder, and then comfort me, "Then let's not fight anymore, let's not get red."

I nodded and touched my hot cheeks.

I just got screwed over by that marksman, but it didn't really affect my mentality much, but this lousy game is deducting my reputation points...

Forget it, stop thinking about it.

After turning off the game, I felt a little hungry.

Although I had just eaten, I didn't eat much because I was in a bad mood at the time.

I rubbed my stomach and looked at Shirakawa Haruka.

"Shirakawa Haruka, I'm so hungry."

"I just told you to eat properly, but you wouldn't listen, and now you're hungry again in no time."

Shirakawa Haruka put down her phone and looked at me with reproach in her eyes.

"I was really in a bad mood just now, there was no food at home, um..."

I slightly raised my eyes to look at her, feigning a pitiful expression so that she would stop nagging me.

"We're out of food at home too. How about I go downstairs with you and we go to the supermarket near the entrance to buy some snacks?"

I was quite happy to hear that Shirakawa Haruka had offered to keep me company.

"Okay! Let's go now, I'm starving."

After all, the hallway is so dark, I'm really scared. It would be much better if someone was with me.

"Hmm~"

Shirakawa Haruka nodded and came outside with me.

Using the light from my phone's flashlight, I locked the door.

But before we could take more than a few steps, we suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.

You know, Xu Liya is the only one living upstairs, and she doesn't usually rush downstairs like this...

Thinking about this, I suddenly had a bad feeling, so I grabbed Shirakawa Haruka and ran.

"run!"

Going back to open the door now would obviously mean being caught by that person before even going inside, so the best way is to just run downstairs.

Shirakawa Haruka also heard the hurried footsteps. Without thinking much, she was pulled along by me and we ran downstairs.

The more we ran, the more urgently the person chased us. The more urgently they chased us, the more suspicious it was. So, Shirakawa Haruka and I had to keep running.

At that moment, I didn't care whether I would fall while running in this environment, nor did I care about being scared. I grabbed Shirakawa Haruka and rushed down.

That person was upstairs from the beginning. If it wasn't Xu Liya, then it was very likely someone lying in wait, just waiting for me or Shirakawa Haruka to open the door.

Soon, Shirakawa Haruka and I ran to the stairwell. We were too tired to run anymore, and there was a group of middle-aged women doing square dancing outside, so we didn't have to worry about her daring to do anything to us at this time.

Soon, the person ran out of the stairwell. Shirakawa Haruka and I stared warily at the entrance of the stairwell, and before we could even catch our breath, we put some distance between us.

To my surprise, the other person was the same girl I, Shirakawa Haruka, had met before.

"Why are you running so fast?"

The other person was also panting heavily as they spoke, their tone tinged with reproach.

"You, you chased after us like that, especially in the dark stairwell, it would be strange if we weren't scared!"

Shirakawa Haruka stared at the girl, her tone slightly reproachful.

To be honest, I was so scared in the hallway just now that I almost lost my mind.

"Then why did you follow us? And why did you sneak around there waiting for us to come out?"

Shirakawa Haruka stared at the girl, her brows furrowed slightly, her cute face filled with suspicion.

Seeing Shirakawa Haruka's suspicious gaze, the girl became a little nervous, and her speech quickened considerably.

"I... I just wanted to ask you a question, it's just that... have you seen anyone?"

"Who is it?" Shirakawa Haruka asked.

“A person named Guiye, she should have moved in around this time.”

Upon hearing the girl's words, both Shirakawa Haruka and I looked at each other simultaneously.

Shirakawa Haruka's gaze seemed to be asking me whether I should tell the girl.

I shook my head at Shirakawa Haruka, then answered the girl first, "We don't know each other, and there shouldn't be any around here. Why don't you try looking somewhere else?"

"Oh... okay, sorry to bother you. I really apologize for startling you."

After saying that, the girl bowed to us, gave me a meaningful look, and then turned and left.

As the girl's figure receded into the distance, Shirakawa Haruka's expression turned slightly strange. "Why didn't you tell her? That person didn't seem like a bad person."

I didn't answer Shirakawa Haruka, but instead changed the subject again.

"Let's go, didn't you say you'd come with me to buy food? It's late now, so it's better to finish shopping early and go home sooner."

"Um, okay."

Seeing that I changed the subject, Shirakawa Haruka wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

As for why I don't want to tell that person, firstly, it's definitely because she looks too much like me, and I don't want to have too much contact with her.

Another thing is that, aside from her appearance, her behavior also makes me suspicious. These repeated encounters have made me wonder if she might be a perverted lolicon, especially after that last time.

Imagine if someone were a kind person who would squat upstairs to ask another question?

While it's possible that she is that person, however...

Ugh!

Thinking of this, I quickly shook my head.

How could it be that person?

You know, in my memory, that person's face always had a dazzling smile, so how could he look so tired?

Although the face looks almost exactly like I remember, I still think it's impossible.

Besides, even if she comes back, after being abandoned once, I don't want to be with her again.

But why did that person glance at me before leaving? That meaningful look seemed to suggest something…

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. That way, she shouldn't come looking for me again, right?

Some things are better left unexpected.
