Chapter 404: Is it my fault?
Apartment 7th floor, room 704.
When the sun rose from the end of the sea level, Nagisa Akatsuki finally returned to her home.
She quietly opened the door, poked her head out to look into the house, then tiptoed in, like a guilty thief.
Because the sun had just risen, the light in the house was not very bright and it was dark, so Nagisa Akane could not see the scene in the living room.
So, Nagisa Akatsuki carefully turned on the light and was immediately startled.
"F-Furujo-kun...?!"
Yes.
Nagisa Akatsuki saw Akatsuki Kojou.
I saw Xiao Gucheng sitting on the sofa facing the entrance in the living room with the lights on.
His face was stiff, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were extremely obvious dark circles under his eyelids. He exuded an aura of resentment and anger, which made Akatsuki Nagisa take a step back.
"…Nagisa."
Looking at his sister who had not returned home all night, Xiao Gucheng looked like he was vomiting blood and about to cry, and he spoke slowly.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?”
“Why don’t you reply to the text message?”
"Why... didn't you go home all night?"
Xiao Kojou spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he was exhausted both physically and mentally, desperate and in pain after a night of madness.
"Where have you been?"
This simple question made Nagisa Akatsuki feel scared.
"Um...Kojo-kun?" Nagisa Akane asked weakly, "Are you angry?"
"Angry?" Xiao Gucheng forced an extremely ugly smile on his face. After laughing dryly for a few times, he said, "No, I'm not angry. How could I be angry?"
"Even if my sister stayed overnight outside, and with a boy of the same age, I wouldn't be angry."
"So... it's about time you told me, right? What did you do out there? What did you do with that bastard? What would make you stay out all night?"
Looking at Akatsuki Kojou who was smiling dryly and had lifeless and bloodshot eyes, Akatsuki Nagisa was completely scared.
"Gu, Gu Chengjun, please don't misunderstand us. We didn't do anything bad outside..."
As she spoke, Nagisa Akatsuki's tone became less certain.
I shouldn't have done anything bad, right?
It's just driving away two bad demons. This shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
But was that really all I did? Was there nothing else?
Maybe he did it, but Ai Jun just didn't tell me?
Thinking of this, Akatsuki Nagisa's tone weakened.
However, she had no idea that her guilty conscience not only made her speech extremely unconvincing, but also completely broke the taut string in the head of a certain sister-con.
"I'm going to kill that bastard—!"
Xiao Gucheng's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had turned into a real vampire. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush out the door.
"Kojo-kun?!"
Nagisa Akatsuki immediately cried out in surprise and hurried to grab him.
"Don't be impulsive! Kojo-kun!"
"Let me go! I'm going to kill that bastard who dared to attack my sister!"
"That's not the case! You misunderstood! Ai-jun didn't attack me!"
"You're still speaking for him?! You must have been deceived by him!"
"Listen to me first!"
"You idiot! Nagisa won't be fifteen for a while yet! He hasn't even graduated from junior high school yet! He's still a kid!"
"I, I'm not a child!"
"What?! Does that mean you have already taken the step to adulthood?!"
"Ah, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't mean that kind of thing that isn't a child..."
"I killed him—!"
“No—!”
In the early morning, Xiao's house became extremely lively as all the neighbors were disturbed.
Aize, who was washing up, heard the noise and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Now, even if I jump into the Yellow River, I can't wash myself clean, right?"
Fortunately, Nagisa Akatsuki didn't care about why he didn't send her home last night but took her back to his own home, otherwise it would be difficult for Aize to explain.
"Never mind, this is pretty fun."
Aize soon stopped caring about it and continued to wash up and get ready for school.
He has made an appointment with Akatsuki Nagisa that from today on, they will go to school and go home together, and except going home, they will go together no matter where they go.
"This is the correct way to open the Fourth True Ancestor and his supervisor..."
As expected, he got the heroine's script.
After confirming this again, Aize left the bathroom and went out the door.
…………
Aize did not wait for Nagisa Akatsuki outside Room 704, but went downstairs first and came to the door of the apartment, where he waited for Nagisa Akatsuki to come down.
Aize waited for almost an hour.
Then... he waited for Akatsuki Kojo.
"Watch the punch!"
Akatsuki Kojo rushed out of the apartment door like a King of Fighters with a full anger bar, and punched Aize who was standing outside the door.
This punch was fast and sharp, and was obviously thrown by an ordinary human high school student, but it gave others a momentum that even a strong orc might not be able to match.
Unfortunately, this fast and sharp punch was easily dodged by Aize.
"Hmm? Isn't this Kojo-san?"
As if he didn't notice Akatsuki Kojou's anger and the punch just now, Aize greeted Akatsuki Kojou just like when they first met yesterday.
"Good morning, are you getting ready for school too?"
That calm look easily filled up Akatsuki Kojo's anger bar.
"How dare you say hello to me?" Xiao Gucheng shouted, shaking with anger, "You kidnapped someone else's sister for a whole night, and you still dare to say hello to me?"
"This means that you are mentally prepared to have a good fight with me, right?"
The only thing that could make the lazy Akatsuki Kojou so angry and become so aggressive is probably something involving his sister.
And Aize undoubtedly touched upon this point.
So, he laughed out loud with both amusement and laughter.
"Don't say that. I'm also very happy to have a good relationship with my classmate's sister."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Gucheng was furious on the spot.
"How dare you say that...! Watch out!"
Akatsuki Gucheng rushed forward angrily and launched continuous attacks on Aize.
It’s true that he is quite skilled, as expected of someone who once joined a basketball team. At least his flexibility is beyond the reach of ordinary high school students.
Akatsuki Kojou was once the ace of the basketball team. None of his teammates could keep up with his skills, which was why he was isolated and quit the team.
Even when he rushed up angrily to fight with someone, he still had some deterrent effect.
Unfortunately, the deterrent effect is there, but it is not much.
At least, that's the case for Aize.
Aize just took a few steps back and dodged a few times at will, and avoided Xiao Gucheng's powerful turtle punches one by one.
Immediately, when Akatsuki Kojou swung the eleventh punch at his face, Aize not only dodged the punch by leaning sideways, letting the fist pass in front of him, but also stretched out his hand at lightning speed and fiercely hit Akatsuki Kojou's elbow.
It was this point that caused Akatsuki Kojou's fist to turn and his body to lose balance.
"clang!"
With a crisp sound, Xiao Gucheng's fist hit the signboard beside him.
"it hurts!"
Xiao Gucheng immediately clenched his fists and squatted down screaming in pain.
"Are you okay?" Aize also squatted down next to Xiao Gucheng and asked with concern: "Why are you so careless? Remember to aim better next time?"
As he spoke, Aize pointed his finger at Akatsuki Kojou's red and swollen fist, causing Akatsuki Kojou to gasp in pain.
“You, you bastard…!” Xiao Gucheng quickly distanced himself from Aize, and shouted with tears in his eyes: “Don’t think that I will let you go just because you are good at fighting!”
"You're so angry?" Aize raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Isn't it just that my sister stayed at the neighbor's house for one night? Why are you so excited?"
"How dare you say such things?" Akatsuki Kojou was so angry that he laughed. He angrily and tearfully said, "Nagisa is just a junior high school student. How could you, a beast, do such a thing to him?!"
This time, Aize finally understood.
As for feelings, Akatsuki Kojou had no idea at all. Although Akatsuki Nagisa slept in his house for a night, nothing actually happened between them.
He probably thought that his sister had been taken advantage of by Aize, so he was so excited, right?
Yes, a girl actually stayed at a boy's house for a night, and not only did she not come back all night, but her cell phone was unreachable and she didn't reply to text messages. A man and a woman were alone in the same room. If you say that nothing happened, I guess few people would believe it.
Nagisa Akatsuki may have explained it, but the excited Akatsuki Kojou didn't listen.
In that case, Aize is not going to explain.
"You also know that Nagisa is just a junior high school student, right?" Aize said with a half-smile, "But which junior high school student does almost all the housework at home? Not only does he have no parents, but he also has to rush home every day to cook for his brother and serve him?"
Xiao Gucheng's breathing suddenly stopped and he was speechless.
"After all, I was hanging out with Nagisa last night, so you should be blamed, right?" Aize continued to add insult to injury, saying, "You are the one who goes home after school, but your sister who has to participate in club activities has to go back to cook for you?"
"If you had cooked dinner last night, Nagisa wouldn't have missed the time and gone out to eat with me."
"I'm new here, I don't know anyone here, I don't even know where to find a good place to eat. You, my classmate sitting next to me, didn't take me around to get familiar with the place even though you're a member of the Homecoming Department, but you blamed your kind-hearted sister for doing this."
"What's the logic behind this?"
Aize's arguments and sophistry made Xiao Gucheng start to doubt his life on the spot.
Could it be... that I am the one who is wrong?
