“It seems you and Yukinoshita had a lot of fun~ So, when will you come and spend some time with me?”
Yukinoshita Haruno’s tone became a bit affected, putting on a clearly feigned, shyly sad expression:
“I’ve been stuck in the office, constantly getting calls from Shizuka and Yukinoshita bragging about their closeness with you. This is simply bullying me and has severely damaged my tiny heart.”
“Hmm, I’ll find time to come see you later.”
Su Rui nodded, thinking to himself, ‘Weren’t you the one who started this whole bragging thing in the first place?’
However, considering he was always a participant, Su Rui said nothing, just quietly listening to Yukinoshita Haruno speak on the other end of the phone.
“Alright, but my tiny heart has been hurt, so please remember to compensate me, or I’ll be like a little bunny…”
“Like what?”
“Little bunnies die from loneliness, you know~”
Yukinoshita Haruno finished speaking in a mischievous tone, then hung up on Su Rui.
It seemed she really knew how to pique someone’s curiosity.
But Su Rui really couldn’t leave today.
Looking at the girl sleeping soundly beside him, Su Rui heard a cat’s meow.
He turned his head and saw a small white kitten appear at his feet.
It wasn’t a spirit, so did it run in from outside?
Su Rui tentatively extended his hand towards the kitten. The kitten sniffed lightly at his fingertips, licked Su Rui’s finger with its tiny barbed tongue, and then gently climbed onto his palm.
It was a young kitten that hadn't grown much. Su Rui could hold it in one hand, and it looked very cute.
“How did you get in?”
Gently extending a finger to scratch the kitten’s nose, Su Rui picked up the kitten and stood up, wandering around the room.
Then, near the kitchen, he saw a cat bed, along with prepared cat food and litter.
It seemed to have been there for a while, but why was the cat bed hidden so discreetly? Was it afraid of being discovered?
Su Rui glanced at the kitten in his hand and said nothing, just gently placed the kitten on the ground: “Go play.”
The kitten didn’t react, only circled around Su Rui’s feet.
Su Rui was just thinking that he had no plans for the rest of the day and would stay here for a while longer, when his phone rang.
It was Shirai Kuroko calling. Su Rui answered casually and asked:
“What’s wrong?”
“Su Rui, can you come over now? I need help.”
“So what happened? I’ll be right there.”
Su Rui glanced at the kitten, gently pinched the scruff of its neck, lifted it, and then placed it next to the sleeping Yukinoshita’s cheek, walking towards her balcony.
“I ran into my senior, her name is Misaka Mikoto. Simply put, she’s in danger. We’re dealing with a very tricky guy right now. Can you come over now? I’ll send you the location!”
“Got it, I’ll be right there. No need for the location, I know where you are now.”
Su Rui said casually, jumping directly out of the window. In mid-air, spiritual power formed jet-like light wings propelling Su Rui forward, quickly breaking the sound barrier, and flying at high altitude towards Shirai Kuroko’s location.
It wasn’t at Shuchiin Academy. With classes likely still in session, how did Shirai Kuroko end up at the edge of a river? Although it seemed to be private property, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t be discovered.
With concern for Shirai Kuroko, who might be exposed, Su Rui sped up, taking about a few minutes to reach a high vantage point.
Looking down from above, he could see a constantly proliferating fleshy mass resembling a baby.
The baby’s head had a halo-like ring, and it was surrounded by quite complex energy flows, attacking the two girls in front of it.
Su Rui noticed that it wasn’t just Shirai Kuroko and the senior she mentioned, Misaka Mikoto, who fought using electromagnetism; Yotsuya Miko was also hiding in the corner.
She really had no combat ability.
Su Rui glanced at Yotsuya Miko, who was trembling in the corner, and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
At least Yotsuya Miko’s hiding spot was safe; she wouldn’t be easily discovered or affected.
After observing the entire situation, Su Rui projected a spear of golden spiritual power downwards.
The golden Sunlight Spear immediately attracted the attention of Shirai Kuroko and the short-haired brown-haired girl.
“It’s Su Rui, Sister-sama, Mr. Su Rui is here!”
“Oh~ He seems like a very capable helper~”
Misaka Mikoto clapped her hands, watching the Sunlight Spear Su Rui had thrown down blast a huge hole in the Fantasy Beast in front of her, and she looked up at the sky with curiosity.
Then she saw a golden meteor plummeting from high altitude. Su Rui, holding a longsword wreathed in burning flames, directly smashed the Fantasy Beast onto the ground from high above.
Golden flames erupted, creating a huge shockwave that even lifted Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto’s skirts. The wind was so strong that both girls’ skirts flew upwards.
“That monster, was it destroyed?”
Misaka Mikoto watched in surprise as Su Rui emerged from the smoke of the large crater, then excitedly walked towards him:
“You must be the Su Rui Kuroko talks about. Your strength is really impressive! I’m Misaka Mikoto, nice to meet you.”
“Hello, you already know my name.”
Su Rui was still thinking about how to greet the girl in front of him when he heard her directly invite him:
“Since you’re so strong, let’s have a match! Come fight me!”
“Huh?”
Su Rui looked at the battle-hungry girl in front of him with some surprise and nodded. To issue a challenge on their first meeting, it was indeed Misaka Mikoto. However, to avoid showing any weakness, Su Rui still put on a surprised expression:
“Are you sure?”
“Of course! My strength is also excellent; I definitely have to show you!”
Misaka Mikoto patted her not-so-bumpy chest, looking very proud. Although Su Rui didn’t seem too enthusiastic, it didn’t stop her from wanting to challenge the person in front of her.
However, at this moment, Shirai Kuroko stopped her.
The red twin-tailed girl suddenly appeared beside Su Rui, hugged him tightly, and then disappeared from the spot with Su Rui:
“Watch out!”
Another attack from the monster appeared, almost hitting Su Rui, who had his back to it. An electric arc flashed past Misaka Mikoto’s eyes.
