Chapter 292: I don’t know what to call it Early Spring…
Xiao Kui Zaochun was originally just an ordinary high school student at Sakura Middle School. However, when she entered her second year of high school, she was inexplicably confessed to by a senior from the third year of high school. From then on, her peaceful campus life began to be gone forever.
The senior is handsome and rich, and is the secret crush of many girls, including Ikeda Rika.
"So... that girl named Ikeda Riku was jealous of you receiving a confession from a senior, so she started targeting you?" The player speculated, looking at the calm-looking high school student Zaochun Xiaokui.
"No." Zaochun Xiaokui shook her head, staring blankly at the mottled and peeling wall, muttering, "Li Luo and I are very good friends. Even after she knew that the senior she liked had confessed his feelings for me, our relationship remained strong."
"Li Luo... wouldn't do something like leaving her best friend for a man!" Zaochun Xiaokui thought, her hands clenched tightly on the ground, unable to help but grip the dirt. "But, that damn senior... he actually..."
"Calm down for a moment, Aoi-chan." The player extended his hand, releasing layers of deathly flames that enveloped her. "You still want to tell me everything completely, right? If so, then don't let your cursed energy cause such a huge fluctuation."
"Otherwise I'll be in a lot of trouble." The player looked at the brown-haired girl who had calmed down and nodded with satisfaction.
The clever player has discovered that Zaochun Xiaokui is not the cursed spirit she wants to deal with. The evil red dot has another curse. Therefore, before the cursed spirit comes to the door, the player is willing to listen to the pain of the female high school student NPC.
"...I understand." Zaochun Xiaokui pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and told the black-haired girl in front of her who seemed to know the inside story why she became like this.
Xiao Kui and Li Luo are good friends, even after the senior confessed to Xiao Kui. However... the senior did not confess to Xiao Kui with sincere feelings, but just wanted to enjoy the girls around him fighting for his affection, so he chose Xiao Kui who was like an invisible person.
However, when he saw that Li Luo, who had always liked Xiao Kui, did not feel sad or jealous because of this, the evil in his heart became more and more intensified. Instead, he began to pursue Xiao Kui fanatically, trying to make Li Luo have a stronger emotional change.
"Then why would Li Luojiang do this to you?" Thinking of the scene he just saw, the player couldn't help but ask, "She doesn't seem to have any reason to do this."
"There's a huge misunderstanding here, but due to the coercion from my senior, I didn't dare to explain it to Li Luo. I could only watch her drift further and further away from me..."
Zaochun Xiaokui suddenly shouted excitedly, "Even if Li Luo spoke harshly to me and did bad things to me, it was all my fault first, so I can tolerate it, except... except..."
"The only thing I can't accept is Li Luo choosing to be with that senior!"
"Why? Are you in love with that senior too?" The player tilted his head.
"No way! How could I possibly fall in love with a scumbag like that!" A misunderstood Zaochun Xiaokui retorted passionately, "The reason I didn't dare explain to Li Luo why I distanced myself from her was because I accidentally discovered that man's secret, and he discovered it and threatened me. Therefore, I can only live in fear every day."
Zaochun Xiaokui: "But after I found out they were together, I couldn't bear to watch Li Luo jump into the sea of fire. I tried to stop her, but...huh?"
Zaochun Xiaokui's eyes suddenly became confused, and the words went around in circles in her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.
The logic before was quite clear, but now I can't say a word. Looking at this blank look, it doesn't seem like he is lying...
The player frowned calmly, and after confirming the NPC's harmlessness once again, he stood up together with the brown-haired girl.
"I don't know why you've become like this, Xiao Kui-chan, but I have more important things to do right now." The player pushed his glasses and said, "You should know how to get out of here."
"Yeah!" Zaochun Xiaokui nodded vigorously, "After I regained consciousness, I seemed to understand how to operate it."
The brown-haired girl wearing thick glasses closed her eyes tightly, stretched out her hands, and took back all the overflowing cursed energy. The player blinked and found himself at the school gate again - only this time, there was a brown-haired girl with a habitual hunched back beside the player.
"Wow, you really are a genius, Aoi-chan!" the player exclaimed in amazement. "You've mastered the use of cursed energy so quickly. Your grades must be pretty good, right?"
According to Glass's abstract explanation, using spells is a very brain-consuming ability, but Xiaokui, who is obviously a beginner, uses it so smoothly that it is really amazing.
"...Well, I have always been the top student since junior high school. This can be considered a rare advantage of mine." Zaochun Xiaokui nodded a little embarrassedly.
Always being number one... doesn't that mean I'm a top student? Why do I still consider myself an ordinary, unknown high school student?
The player who liked skipping classes but always admired intelligent people looked at Zaochun Xiaokui with some difficulty, but received a puzzled look from the other party instead.
"Don't be so self-deprecating, Xiao Kui-chan. I understand the concept of being number one for five consecutive years, not to mention that Sakura High School is a key high school here." The player patted Xiao Kui Zaochun's shoulder and said, "In that case, come with me to exorcise the cursed spirit."
"Maybe there are clues to your memories there?"
The brown-haired girl, who had been somewhat resistant at first, nodded decisively upon hearing this, and followed the player towards the direction of the cursed spirit - there, the pitch-black cursed power was condensing into a ball, emitting a terrifying and frightening aura.
At the same time, Supervisor Gojo, who was waiting outside Sakura High School, received a message.
After seeing the owner of the message, Supervisor Gojo, who had originally had a calm expression, suddenly widened his eyes and wiped the sweat from his face calmly.
After forcibly suppressing his trembling hands, Director Gojo took out his phone and responded cautiously.
[Yes, she is indeed on a mission now, and the location is Sakura High School.]
[As you say, I will be waiting for you here.]
…
…
The player and Zaochun Xiaokui came to the vicinity of the real location of the cursed spirit.
"This is the teaching building of Sakura High School, where I have the few good memories." Zaochun Xiaokui carefully moved forward with the dagger handed to her by the black-haired girl, speaking to ease the intense tension in her heart.
"Here I used to have lunch with Li Luo..., there I used to play games with Li Luo..."
"You two have a really good relationship. It's truly rare to have such close friends." The player with the golden sword looked at the approaching red dot and eagerly considered the hilt. "Be careful, Xiaokui-chan, we're almost there."
"It's indeed a good thing...Okay!" Zaochun Xiaokui bit her lips nervously and immediately clenched the dagger in her hand.
The cursed spirit on the rooftop seemed to have sensed the breath of the player and Zaochun Xiaokui. Before the two of them got close, it let out an angry scream, and the thorns on its body began to swing wildly, almost attacking Zaochun Xiaokui who didn't react in time.
The quick-witted player looked at the NPC, who looked frightened, with concern and asked, "Are you okay, Xiaokui-chan?"
"I'm fine... What on earth is this..." Zaochun Xiaokui looked at herself who had suddenly changed her position with some confusion, "Speaking of which, how did I suddenly appear here? Teleportation?"
"Of course it's because I have quick eyes and hands...eh?" The player looked at himself who suddenly moved from the rooftop entrance to the edge of the rooftop, and made a puzzled sound.
The distance between the rooftop entrance and the edge of the rooftop is more than ten meters. Given that the player is plagued by the Arcobaleno curse, they shouldn't be able to move so fast...
Could it be that...
The player's eyes flashed, and he opened his personal panel and turned his gaze to the column of his own spell power.
[Spell Power: Space-like Domain (Understanding)]
The question mark in the cursed power column has disappeared, replaced by a progress bar that is slower than a turtle's climbing speed. This also means that just now, in a desperate situation, the player learned the method of using the technique without any guidance and used it successfully.
The move just now was - space movement!
Although it is a short-distance space movement, it is also very cool, especially during battle!
The player blinked, looking at the Curse Spirit before him with great interest. The Curse Spirit had already made such great progress since their first encounter, and said sincerely, "It's true that actual combat can lead to the greatest progress. Thank you so much, Unknown Curse Spirit Experience Pack!"
The curse spirit said nothing, but just kept roaring, while Zaochun Xiaokui, who was standing beside it, blinked in confusion.
"To thank you for helping me, let me relieve your pain!" As he said that, the player took out the golden sword, faced the thorn attack derived from the curse spirit, and used the force to fight back, easily leaping onto the head of the curse spirit and hitting it hard!
"Remember to do as I just told you, Xiaokui!" The player smiled at the high school student NPC and quickly cut off the thorns that extended from the Cursed Spirit Mountain.
"So powerful..." Zaochun Xiaokui, who was hiding aside as instructed by the black-haired girl, covered her mouth and looked at the black-haired girl's clean and neat movements in battle, and the calmness with which she played with the creature called the Curse Spirit in her hands, and unconsciously exclaimed.
She was clearly a girl younger than me, but why was there such a huge difference between me and her? Not only did I lack the courage to expose the senior's crimes, but even Li Luojiang couldn't save her...
Zaochun Xiaokui pursed her lips and wiped away the tears that quietly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, the cursed spirit that had been roaring and fighting with the players suddenly changed its form and let out a hickey laugh.
"Foolish human, although you do possess some strength, you are unable to see through the lies of your companions."
The cursed spirit, who had wielded two massive blasts of cursed power to temporarily force the players back, glanced at the brown-haired girl whose expression changed drastically and said, "You don't think that woman is really Zaochun Xiaokui, do you?"
