“Now you know your sister's true thoughts, don't you?”
Su Rui smiled, took the tea bag from Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, and casually placed it on a high shelf.
“You don’t need this. Just let nature take its course. You were never going to escape my grasp anyway.”
“Mm~ I know…”
Yukino Yukinoshita’s cheeks were flushed, and she didn't dare to look into Su Rui’s eyes, but her gaze still couldn't help but steal glances at the tea leaves Su Rui had placed on the high shelf.
After knowing the purpose of those tea leaves, she didn't blame her sister in her heart; instead, she wanted even more to use that kind of tea to entertain Su Rui.
“Alright, I want plain boiled hot water. If you can brew tea, you can naturally boil water, right? Don't overthink it.”
Su Rui reached out and pinched Yukino Yukinoshita's cheek:
“I have a new plan. I’ll take you out to play later. Don’t waste time here.”
“Then, in the evening, will there be enough time for me to return?”
Upon hearing Su Rui’s words, Yukino Yukinoshita’s words slipped out subconsciously, and only then did she realize that her words were a bit too direct.
Not enough time to return, didn't that mean she wanted to stay out…
But Su Rui also took a moment to understand Yukino Yukinoshita’s meaning.
“You can return or stay out… Speaking of which, do you have class tomorrow?”
“I have one class tomorrow afternoon, but it’s fine. I can ask for leave or catch up on the course progress later.”
To go out with Su Rui, Yukino Yukinoshita was even willing to temporarily delay her classes.
“Don’t be nervous, tomorrow afternoon’s class shouldn’t be delayed.”
Su Rui glanced at the kettle boiling water, felt it was a bit too slow, and directly took out two bottles of beer from the refrigerator.
“Alright, hydrate a bit. Don’t wait for the water to boil.”
“Alcohol makes people thirstier.”
Yukino Yukinoshita whispered, she was already starting to think about hydration.
But Su Rui didn't pay much attention. After stuffing the still-chilled beer into Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, he directly pulled the girl to the living room:
“Do you want to play the role of a hero hiding in the shadows?”
“What are we going to do?”
Although it was different from what she expected, Su Rui’s words still piqued Yukino Yukinoshita’s interest. The girl immediately looked up, staring intently into Su Rui’s eyes.
“I previously asked Shirai Kuroko to inquire with those police officers, but in reality, those police themselves probably don’t know much information, so I thought, maybe we can test them out.”
This was clearly a somewhat risky operation.
As Su Rui spoke, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, but instead of being afraid, the girl seemed eager to act, opening the beer can in her hand and taking a big gulp.
“I want to go!”
“Understood. We’ll leave after you finish this.”
Su Rui said casually, then used spiritual power to evaporate the traces of beer that had just dripped onto Yukino Yukinoshita’s chest.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita, to leave quickly, she directly chugged the beer. Although it was only one can, the girl's way of drinking still made her appear a bit dizzy.
It seemed Yukino Yukinoshita's alcohol tolerance was indeed not very good.
Su Rui glanced at the girl whose cheeks were flushed, whether from shyness or drunkenness, and reached out to press her forehead:
“I’ll take you there later. This spell can ensure you won’t be discovered.”
“Mm.”
Yukino Yukinoshita curiously glanced at the golden spiritual power appearing on her, her eyes filled with the joy of a child looking at a beloved toy.
Su Rui didn't waste any more words. He directly put his arm around the girl's waist and carried her into the air.
Golden wings carried Su Rui into the sky. Since his last flight with Kagarino Kirieda, he realized that when carrying someone, he needed to consider the other person's tolerance, so Su Rui had developed a corresponding spell.
As long as the acceleration was within a certain limit, the person in his arms would not be affected by high-speed flight.
Thus, Su Rui carried Yukino Yukinoshita at high speed through the sky.
Because the flight speed was extremely fast and the altitude was very high, plus the human body is much smaller than an airplane.
So there was no need to worry about being discovered. Even if someone occasionally caught a glimpse of a golden light with a telescope, it wouldn’t be easy to track Su Rui’s speed.
Soon, Su Rui brought Yukino Yukinoshita to Shuchiin Academy, and based on the amulets on the girls, he found Shirai Kuroko. She was currently in the Student Council, with Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara.
The female police officer named Miwa Sato still hadn't left, sitting in front of Shirai Kuroko, maintaining a smile, as if she were merely a guest.
Shirai Kuroko, across from her, was a bit impatient: “I’ve already said I’m a transfer student and don’t know about the incident you’re talking about. Do you have any more questions?”
“Nothing.” Miwa Sato shook her head, smiling as she inquired like a friend talking:
“I just heard your question and thought you might know more about such strange things, so I hoped to get more information from you.”
It seemed that Su Rui’s earlier request for Shirai Kuroko to ask questions had instead drawn attention to her… but it didn’t matter.
Su Rui had heard before that those police officers were still relentlessly investigating Kaguya Shinomiya and the others who were conscious at the time.
The higher-ups in the police department would definitely not agree; this was probably their private action.
Was it truly based on something, or pure self-righteous justice?
Shirai Kuroko was unwilling to answer, so Miwa Sato naturally couldn't get anything out of her. Even if she tried to trick her, Shirai Kuroko's experience as a Kazari Uiharu in Academy City completely fended off any attempts.
Thus, Miwa Sato could only leave with a disappointed expression, forcing a smile as she said goodbye, achieving nothing:
“In that case, I apologize for the disturbance today. I may visit again later, so please bear with me.”
“Follow.”
Whispering softly into Yukino Yukinoshita’s ear, Su Rui put his arm around the girl and followed behind Miwa Sato, using a spell to conceal their figures, all the way to her car.
“Phew~ Still didn’t get anything.”
Back in her private space, the female police officer annoyedly ran her fingers through her hair: “Who exactly are you?”
“So, why exactly are you investigating me?”
Su Rui's sudden appearance beside her startled the female police officer. She subconsciously trembled and reached for the handgun at her waist.
Su Rui was currently sitting in her passenger seat, and Yukino Yukinoshita was in the back seat.
However, due to the influence of Su Rui's spell, Miwa Sato didn't notice Yukino Yukinoshita, only seeing Su Rui sitting beside her, his face obscured by golden light, completely unclear.
