Tennouzu First High School.

4:00 PM, as the bell rang for the last class of the afternoon. The entire school suddenly became noisy. Those in clubs went to participate in club activities, while those in the going-home club naturally packed their things and went home in groups of two or three with their friends.

The twin-tailed girl with tea-colored hair was also packing her books, preparing to go back with a classmate she had known for seven years and had a slight crush on.

Thinking of this, Matsuri couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

‘Shu is really too dense… Does this kind of thing have to be said by the girl first?’

Matsuri’s crush on Ouma Shu could be seen by anyone who had known them for a little longer. But unfortunately, Ouma Shu, who always kept a distance from others, seemed incredibly oblivious.

“Huff.”

Matsuri looked at Ouma Shu, who was discussing EGOIST with Souta Tamadate. Only when talking about that girl named ‘Inori’ would Shu reveal a rare happy smile. However, the relationship between Inori and that boy named Xia Yan…

Shu would be very sad if he knew.

Matsuri slowly sighed. The boy she had a crush on was happy because of another girl, which made Matsuri feel a little uncomfortable. But when she thought that Shu would give up his unrealistic ideas after knowing about the relationship between Xia Yan and Inori, Matsuri suddenly felt a little… happy?

‘No, no…!! I can’t have such bad girl thoughts.’

Matsuri shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off this ‘bad’ thought. After sorting out her feelings, she was about to go and talk to Ouma Shu when a hand gently grabbed her wrist.

“Eh?”

Matsuri turned her head in confusion and saw Xia Yan, who had been absent from school since the second day of his transfer.

But… was this really Xia Yan?

The skin tone was completely different from yesterday, fair with a hint of paleness. Although he was smiling at her, Matsuri felt a faint sense of oppression.

And he had suddenly put on black-framed glasses, and his eyes had turned red. Was he wearing colored contact lenses underneath?

He had also become a little more handsome. Was it her imagination?

Matsuri stared at Xia Yan’s face in a daze, thinking this.

“Matsuri, what’s wrong?”

Xia Yan knew that the girl must be wondering about the change in his appearance, but he pretended to be unaware and asked.

After all, it would be too troublesome to explain.

After hesitating for a moment, Matsuri pointed to Xia Yan’s eyes and asked euphemistically, “Um, why are you wearing glasses?”

Actually, she wanted to ask why Xia Yan’s eyes had suddenly changed color and the feeling they gave off, but the considerate girl used a more subtle way of asking.

“Ah, my eyes are a little red and swollen. I’m wearing plano glasses to block the wind,” Xia Yan casually explained, quickly moving on to the main topic.

“Matsuri, can I take up a little of your time?”

“Eh?”

“There’s something I want to show you. It’ll be quick.”

Matsuri looked at Ouma Shu, who was discussing nearby, with some difficulty, but she couldn’t bear to reject Xia Yan’s request. She thought that Ouma Shu wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon since he was discussing EGOIST, so she nodded.

“Thank you.”

Xia Yan nodded gratefully and led Matsuri out of the classroom. After walking for about five minutes, the girl was led by Xia Yan to the rooftop of the teaching building.

“Cha—Cha”

The sound of construction came from downstairs. Yesterday, it seemed that the terrorists from Funeral Parlor and GHQ had clashed in the school, and several buildings had been destroyed. Except for the classes whose classrooms had been destroyed, the school still didn’t allow classes to be suspended.

“What is it that you wanted to show me?… Yan.”

Calling Xia Yan’s name, Matsuri was still a little shy and unaccustomed.

Xia Yan smiled mysteriously without answering. Then, he took off the black suit jacket he was wearing and reached into the collar of his school uniform, unbuttoning the white shirt one button at a time.

“Eh?!”

Matsuri stared blankly at Xia Yan’s actions, stunned for a moment.

He looked very thin on the outside, but seeing the rudimentary muscles under Xia Yan’s clothes, which were the result of his physical strength being enhanced to eighteen points, was enough to change people’s perception of Xia Yan.

But—the girl didn’t have the heart to think about that now. Matsuri couldn’t even believe that the seemingly easy-going Xia Yan had actually brought her to the rooftop to do this kind of thing?!

Just as Matsuri was at a loss, Xia Yan unbuttoned all the buttons on his shirt, revealing part of his upper body. Then, he slowly pulled down the shirt on his right shoulder, allowing the girl to see the white bandage stuck to it.

“This is…”

“The injury I sustained last night. It seems like the bone is broken,” Xia Yan explained carelessly, but his attitude made Matsuri angry.

“Bro…broken! Don’t say it so simply,” Matsuri said with an angry expression, walking to Xia Yan in a few steps and gently stroking the bandaged area on Xia Yan’s shoulder with her small hand.

“If you don’t cherish yourself, wouldn’t you be letting down the people who care about you too much?”

Her tone was scolding, but it didn’t make her seem harsh. Instead, it made Xia Yan more aware of the girl’s kindness and consideration.

“Matsuri, you’re such a good girl.”

“Um… It’s no use even if you compliment me. Go to the hospital obediently.”

The girl’s face flushed slightly after being praised, but she still scolded.

“That’s why I came to find you.”

Xia Yan said something that made the girl confused, causing Matsuri to subconsciously look up and meet Xia Yan’s eyes. In an instant, the girl had a trance-like feeling of her consciousness being drawn out—

The next moment, an azure heart-light bloomed from Matsuri’s chest.

“Sometimes, I really think it’s such a pity.”

Xia Yan gently raised his right arm, the silver spiral twin snakes gently fluttering. Under the illumination of the azure heart-light, Xia Yan revealed a slightly emotional smile.

The girl looked down at the light on her chest in confusion. Just as she was about to ask Xia Yan what was happening, she saw him suddenly insert his hand into her chest.

Then, he pulled out something that looked like a ribbon.

Her consciousness blurred, and Matsuri felt a strong sense of drowsiness engulf her. In the last moment before she passed out, she vaguely saw Xia Yan’s lips move, saying a strange sentence.

“It’s too much of a pity to give it to someone else.”
