Stray Chapter 1: Backstab and confrontation

"I'm back..."

After changing her shoes at the entrance, Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth and shouted into the brightly lit room.

Then took a deep breath and walked towards the room. Kato Megumi tilted her head and followed behind him... Although she probably understood what Xia Ran was thinking, after thinking about it. , still did not expose him.

"Welcome back..."

It was Yukinoshita Yukino who was sitting quietly in the living room, she said very calmly, and at the same time put down the notebook in her hand and turned to look at the two who walked in.

But then, her expression became obviously shocked, and she stood up from the sofa: "Wait, what's the matter with you?!"

"Because of Feng Jian Youxiang's request, I just went to have a friendly discussion with her..." Xia Ran blinked and said this as a matter of course, while looking around without a trace from the corner of her eyes.

Charlotte isn't here, I don't know if I'm sending those two away, or I'm preparing with Artoria, but this is what I expected.

Yono Yukino is not here either. She should go back to her apartment. After all, she is very busy during this time. She really needs to rest at this time. She is living in her sister's apartment during this time. of.

Because it's just across a door, it's very convenient not to mention, and she doesn't worry that her sister is separated by a door.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino was still sitting in the living room waiting at this time, but it was indeed a little unexpected, which means that she really cares about it, right? So you've been waiting to find an explanation?

Xia Ran, who felt a little uneasy, moved his gaze to the desk. That notebook was also one of his own notes, and it seemed to be about the occult knowledge about curses... Wait, it shouldn't be. ?

Thousands of thoughts were just a thought, but Yukinoshita Yukino pointed at the blood on his body angrily: "So much blood... You actually say this is a friendship?!"

"It's really just a friendship exchange, at least not a dead hand..." Xia Ran clenched his hand into a fist, put it on his mouth and coughed softly, "Don't worry, there's actually no problem, will there be hell? Even if you accept me, I still have two words..."

“…”

“…”

Biting her lower lip tightly, the black long straight girl looked quite annoyed, but she didn't say anything, she just restrained her emotions and asked: "Then you really have no problem now? You don't need to see a doctor. Something like that?"

"It's really no problem, I'll take a shower later and change my clothes..." Xia Ran nodded again and again, and at the same time secretly praised her wit in her heart.

As expected, after being punched in the chest by Youxiang, I really need to make the best use of everything. Now Yukishita-san won't be distracted, at least I should stop being angry about what happened before, and I should Stop thinking about cursing yourself, right?

"It's better..." The girl said displeasedly. She carefully looked at his face and confirmed that he was indeed not showing any signs of weakness, so she was slightly relieved.

Then, her eyes naturally shifted to Megumi Kato: "Wait, Kato-san, why are you still here? Didn't you already go back?"

"I've been here all the time, and I haven't gone back..." Kato Megumi replied strangely, "I just followed Sanae and waited for a while at the shrine on the other side..."

Yukinoshita frowned slightly and thought about it carefully. It seemed that only Yuihama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman had returned just now, and the head maid sent them off, that is, the three of them left.

It's really strange that this Kato-san doesn't exist. Why did I not realize that I was ignoring such a person at the time? So she was at that time, went to the other side and waited?

——I didn't realize it at all!

The expression changed slightly, the black long straight girl looked at the blood on Kato Megumi's body and asked tentatively: "So... Kato-san, did you just go to watch the battle?"

"How is it possible, I don't know anything. Didn't I go to the scene to cause trouble for Xia Ran?"

The calm-hearted girl replied very calmly, how could she possibly watch the battle? It's not the brain-damaged routine in the **** TV series. When the protagonist is fighting with the enemy, the heroine who is helpless has to run into the center of the battlefield to cause chaos.

"Then the blood on your skirt..." The black long straight girl looked at Megumi Kato suspiciously. It seems that this is the truth, but why is there blood on Megumi Kato's body?

Did you accidentally get it when you were helping this person back?

But according to the principles and physical rules, it should also be stained on the side, shoulders, arms and other places!

What kind of support is needed to be able to get so much blood on the front clothes and skirts. She can't be the one who brought Princess Xia Ran back, right?

"Oh, this was sprayed by Xia Ran just now..."

Speaking of this, Kato Megumi also had a troubled look on her face. She twisted her body unnaturally, "Because it happened so suddenly, I couldn't avoid it..."

“…”

“…”

"Oh, that's what it is."

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment, then nodded as if knowingly, and said this with an unusually indifferent expression.

I don't know what she thought, for example, when she was on the lap pillow... The girl looked at Megumi Kato's body with an unusually indifferent gaze, thinking carefully about the probability of this possibility.

“…”

“…”

Xia Ran had a very calm expression on the side, because he suddenly realized that he was used to it.

This is the Kato-kun I know. This familiar backstab, this thoughtful patching knife, always comes unexpectedly and unexpectedly when I am unprepared. It is really reassuring.

It's just that she really has no other idea in her heart, that is, she can always do such things unintentionally, which is very strange and strange. Maybe it's like she and her mother called and told her that she would stay overnight at Sanae's "place" tonight——

It is clear that she did not lie, she just told the truth, but what she said was not the same as the actual fact, but she could tell the truth to make the other party have a wonderful misunderstanding...

This unconscious ability to arrange others has reached a state of admiration. Could it be said that she actually mastered some "ability to manipulate the level of unconsciousness"?

Well, if you think about it, it's really suspicious--Little Wu Lolita's younger sister, Gu Ming Dilian has such an ability. As a mind-reading monster, she has the same ability as Jue. Mind reading.

But she knows that people hate this ability, so she completely closed the third eye that can read minds, so that she can no longer read other people's thoughts, so she relatively gains the ability to manipulate the level of unconsciousness.

I also often act unconsciously, making her presence invisible. Because of the influence of her own ability, even if someone saw her, as long as she was distracted later, her existence would soon be ignored.

In a state of unconsciousness, as long as it does not enter the field of vision of others, there is no sense of existence...

Even if it enters the field of vision of others, it will go unnoticed like a small stone...

And once out of sight, it is immediately forgotten by others.

How to say it? I always feel that the more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a problem. It is really strange. Maybe Kato Megumi is really in a similar situation to Gu Mingjijue, but it is not as thorough, and the symptoms are relatively mild?

Perhaps in order to escape from reality, Xia Ran also activated the ability to manipulate the level of unconsciousness, and thought so unconsciously.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that, I have something to ask you..."

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino adjusted her mood and sat down again.

"Actually, about "shiki"..." Xia Ran quickly came to her senses, and without hesitation, she explained that the agreement was not the same at all, although it was true that others could not know it.

"Who asked you this? That's not my concern." When Yukinoshita said this, her expression was as cold as usual, and there was nothing special about her expression.

"Huh?"

Xia Ran is surprised now, how could she not care about this? He looked at the girl's face with a slightly worried look, and hesitated for a moment: "Yukishita-san, did you eat something that shouldn't be eaten at the banquet just now?"

At this time, Kato Megumi has calmly sat down on the sofa opposite, and naturally poured herself a cup of tea.

After hearing this, she gave Xia Ran a strange look again, feeling that she didn't understand the strange classmate in the front seat. When she just came back, she still looked very scheming, why now Acting completely hopeless again?

"For your own sake, before you speak, you'd better think about it..." Yukinoshita's expression was unusually calm, but she just gave him a stern look, "If you insist, we can also discuss about that" shiki" problem. "

"No, Yukinoshita-san, you are right..." Xia Ran sat down next to the girl, nodded again and again, pretending to be well-behaved, "If you have anything, just ask, as long as you want it. , as long as I have."

Xuexia was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and looked away, not paying attention to the fact that the other party was clearly covered in blood, but sat next to her...

However, there is no such thing as rust and blood, but there is a strange mellow smell of blood. Human blood generally doesn't smell like this, and I don't know if it's the guy's own problem.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and asked:

"You and Saber, where are you going next?"

"Yes." Xia Ran nodded, not hiding the matter.

"Where to go?"

"I don't know. Although I have a hunch, I'm not sure." Xia Ran answered honestly.

However, such honesty obviously cannot win people's trust. At least Yukinoshita Yukino didn't believe it. She looked very displeased: "You don't even know where you are going?"

"I really don't know, this matter is beyond my control, at least it is not within my control at the moment..."

Xia Ran looked straight into her eyes very sincerely, saying that this is really not something she can decide.

"...When will you leave?" The girl frowned slightly, looked away, and asked again.

"It's tonight, but if there is no accident, I can come back tomorrow morning." Xia Ran tried to understate the time scale of the real world to show that there would be no twists and turns in what she was going to do next.

Just one night, what can happen!

At most, he has been upgraded again...

Yukinoshita seemed to have something in mind, she put her hand to her lips lightly and thought so silently.

"Xueshita classmate, do you have any ideas?" Xia Ran asked tentatively, and at the same time quickly listed a series of solutions in his mind. He had already prepared all the possible solutions for this possibility. Prepare.

"Let's talk about this..."

The black long straight girl shook her head. She was unable to make a decision for a while, and needed some time to think for a moment, "Are you going to have supper? Sister, she went to take a bath and said she didn't eat much just now, please wait for me. I'll make one later..."

"This...then there will be you, classmate Rao Xuexia."

Xia Ran blinked and nodded decisively.

It seems that if there is no accident, the girl will give herself the answer later?

"Thank you, I don't need it anymore." Megumi Kato shook her head when she realized that Yukishita-san was looking at her, and said softly, "I always feel that after the summer vacation, my whole body is a little heavier."

"..." The black long straight girl's expressionless gaze swept across the opponent's chest, and then nodded, "Yes, it is also good to eat less."

Xia Ran stretched out his hand and pushed the glasses that didn't exist on the bridge of his nose. I don't know if it was an illusion. He suddenly felt that the brief conversation between the two girls seemed to contain some redundant information exchange?

But he wisely said nothing.

"Master, you're back, wait, Master, your injury..."

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening, and a delicate puppet girl walked in from the outside, and then looked at Xia Ran's embarrassed appearance.

Then she turned her gaze subconsciously, and happened to see Yukinoshita Yukino who came out of the kitchen because she heard her voice and was about to ask the head maid if she wanted something to eat.

The expressionless girl, wearing an apron, stood there with a kitchen knife in her hand.
