"Think about it for a moment. The actions of those two can only be described as extremely reckless."
"After all, even you, a completely innocent bystander, almost lost your life. Do you really think it's a good idea to let such a threat continue walking around freely? Even though I'm not a good person, under normal circumstances I would still consider various things, right? But those two clearly had no intention of thinking about the danger they posed, so let's just get rid of them."
"Not to mention that the people who can come here and cause trouble are either mercenaries or assassins. Do you think people like that are good people?"
After hearing that, Yui Kotegawa thought for a moment and realized it made sense. People like that really were a threat.
"And most importantly, they even dared to hurt someone who belongs to me. It seems they've grown tired of living."
When Yui Kotegawa heard the words "someone who belongs to me," she felt her face gradually turn red. At first, she wanted to protest, but when she saw the killing intent filling Shiro's eyes, she was stunned.
The words she wanted to say were swallowed back down, and that expression on his face quickly disappeared, returning to his usual playful appearance.
"Rest here for a while, okay?"
Shiro gently patted her head, as if he were petting a small household pet.
However, Yui Kotegawa didn't think much about it and simply said:
"Please, be very careful."
Shiro then opened the door to the infirmary, and the others were already waiting outside.
"She's been taken care of. Go keep her company, after all, she almost lost her life."
The girls with blue and pink hair didn't pay attention to the words "almost lost her life," because they thought it was only a leg injury.
But another person, who had heard the entire conversation, knew something was wrong. Very wrong. How could a situation like that involve nothing more than broken bones?
After seeing the two of them enter, Mikado Ryoko leaned against the wall beside Shiro with a curious expression.
"Shiro, I'm really curious about what actually happened. Based on the description of the situation, it's perfectly clear to me that under those circumstances it couldn't have been just broken bones. There must have been a serious problem, right?"
Her voice carried complete confidence. She was certain of the conclusion she had reached.
Shiro pursed his lips before telling her the truth.
"Indeed, under normal circumstances that impact would have been fatal. However, I previously placed something on her bracelet, which allowed her to avoid this disaster."
After hearing that, Mikado Ryoko wore an expression that clearly said, "I knew it."
If it hadn't been for his help and she had somehow avoided such an accident on her own, Mikado would have become interested in her. Either she possessed some unknown power or something similar. But now that she had her answer, there was nothing left to investigate.
"So, Shiro, you're planning to..."
"Of course I'm going to kill those two."
"After all, they came because of Lala."
"And on top of that, they accidentally hurt Yui-chan. Either one of those reasons alone is enough for me to tear them to pieces."
As he spoke, Shiro's eyes became ice-cold, like the silence of death itself.
After hearing that, Mikado Ryoko simply smiled mischievously.
"Oh? So this is what they call charging through the gates for a beauty, isn't it?"
"I'm really curious. If I were a few years younger, I might have even fallen in love."
Shiro didn't expect her to keep teasing him even now. This woman was truly hopelessly mischievous.
"Fine. If you really fell in love, what if I helped you reach the moon? The problem is that you wouldn't actually fall in love, you're just teasing me. Also, don't tell them this is connected to Lala. I explained to them that it was all an accident, just bad luck."
"If they learned the truth, one person would feel guilty, and someone else wouldn't want that person to feel guilty. In the end, everything would turn into another soap opera."
"Not to mention that Lala would probably cause countless more problems, and everything would become even more complicated. So let's simply call this an accident, okay?"
After hearing that, Mikado Ryoko smiled charmingly.
"How considerate of you~"
Shiro simply smiled and didn't respond.
"I need to leave for a while. Physical injuries aren't a problem, but mentally it wasn't easy for her. I guided her a little and got her to cry it out, but I believe Doctor Mikado studied psychology as well."
Mikado Ryoko looked at the person who had already disappeared and couldn't help looking somewhat helpless.
"Oh my~ He really knows how to order people around..."
Still, she didn't refuse to go inside and give Yui some psychological support.
Shiro let out a breath after seeing her enter.
At that moment, his usual playfulness was nowhere to be seen. His entire body radiated killing intent.
Fortunately, he kept it under control and didn't allow it to spread, so the people inside couldn't sense it.
Shiro glanced toward the corner of the hallway and saw two people approaching.
However, the two of them froze the moment they saw his expression and bearing.
Shiro merely gave them a brief glance before disappearing.
Only after some time did someone finally speak.
"Yukino, that just now... that was Shiro, right?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart was pounding violently.
Her back was already completely soaked with sweat, and her legs were so weak that she had to lean against the wall to avoid collapsing.
Yukino was also supporting herself against the wall with one hand.
Her back was soaked with sweat as well, and her face was pale.
"Yes."
"That was Shiro."
Even Yukino looked visibly shaken.
Although she had already seen Shiro fight through the Chat Group, it couldn't compare to experiencing it in person.
Even while he was restraining himself, seeing it with her own eyes was enough to fill her with fear.
It was simply too terrifying.
"Then, what is that guy going to do now?"
"Wait... he's not actually going to find the person who injured Kotegawa, is he?"
Hiratsuka's expression immediately changed after voicing that assumption.
After all, one of her students had been involved in all this and had supposedly been seriously injured.
And now, after feeling Shiro's killing intent outside the infirmary, the only thing she could think of was that he was about to cause a major incident.
Yukino reached the same conclusion.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, there's no need to ask. He's definitely going to deal with them."
Yukino was completely certain that Shiro intended to kill someone.
And this entire situation felt very strange.
It seemed there really was some serious problem behind all of this.
