Chapter 227

"Let's go."

Eriri's voice was hoarse beyond recognition.

"Thought it through? If you knew it would come to this, why do it in the first place?"

Kitakami Yoru felt that Eriri was much more pleasing to the eye now.

An obedient little blonde is the only kind that's cute...

Eriri didn't respond; she had already resigned herself to fate, preparing to accept Kasumigaoka Utaha's judgment.

"Let's go."

Kitakami Yoru urged.

Eriri walked downstairs, dejected and stiff in her movements.

Kitakami Yoru followed by her side, speaking up from time to time, wanting to provoke Eriri.

To eavesdrop on useful information.

Don't forget, Eriri was a ticking time bomb to him.

The more cards he had in his hand, the safer he was!

Who would complain about having too few bomb cards in a game of Fight the Landlord?

Unfortunately...

Arriving near the gate of Xiuzhiyuan Sect, Eriri maintained this state the whole way, giving Kitakami Yoru no opportunity at all.

This scene was watched by a pair of eyes hidden behind black-rimmed glasses.

"Is that Kitakami Yoru?"

Aki Tomoya trailed far behind the two, his fists clenched, his brow furrowed!

"Is he hitting on Eriri?"

"How dare he?!"

Muttering to himself, Aki Tomoya's ugly possessiveness was triggered.

At the same time, he recalled the conversation of the passerby students this morning.

Kitakami Yoru is so handsome, would he go and hit on top-tier beauties like Eriri or Yukinoshita Yukino?

A faint sense of inferiority and fear spread in Aki Tomoya's heart...

Anyone who sees the girl they like walking with a handsome guy would let their imagination run wild.

Fortunately, Aki Tomoya kept staring at Eriri without looking away.

It wasn't until Eriri walked out of the Xiuzhiyuan Sect gate without paying any attention to Kitakami Yoru that he breathed a sigh of relief.

And he couldn't help but feel smug.

"Follow me."

Walking down the marble steps, Kitakami Yoru reminded Eriri.

After speaking, he walked in the opposite direction of the commercial street.

This direction led to a nearby residential area, which was relatively remote.

A few hundred meters away, there was a small park with a nice environment and it was quite quiet.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had chosen this as the meeting spot.

"Where are we going?"

Eriri followed obediently and finally spoke again.

"The small park ahead, the location was chosen by Kasumigaoka Utaha."

"I'm very curious, Eriri, why exactly did you make your relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha so stiff?"

Kitakami Yoru said casually.

Eriri had long since lowered her head.

They walked for a few minutes.

Kitakami Yoru brought Eriri to the outside of the small park, where there was also an old shrine.

"Eriri..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up with a complex expression in her eyes and walked up quickly.

Hearing the voice, Eriri raised her head with dull eyes, looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and her lips moved.

Using all her strength, she said: "I'm sorry..."

As the words fell, Eriri lowered her head again.

She had nothing left to say.

Kitakami Yoru was even less in a hurry; he stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching coldly.

He wanted to hear if any information would be revealed.

"You really are..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke with a complex expression; one couldn't tell how angry she was from her face.

However, when she learned from Kitakami Yoru at noon that the culprit was Eriri.

She was still extremely excited in her heart.

The hatred and conflict between her and Eriri could be put aside, declaring her victory.

She only needed to spread the word about this...

Xiuzhiyuan might not expel this young lady of noble status, but Eriri would certainly have no face to stay here, to stay in Japan.

She would roll back to her old home in Europe and leave Aki Tomoya completely.

By then, Aki Tomoya wouldn't be wavering, and he would only have her!

Or, she could hide the fact that Eriri was a thief.

She could threaten and dominate Eriri at will.

For example, making Eriri stay far away from Aki Tomoya forever.

"Sigh..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly sighed, feeling a bit unsure.

At this moment, deep in her heart, she didn't have much impulse to use this matter to blackmail Eriri.

It was very complicated; she couldn't even put it into words herself.

And she had no idea if she was willing to say it out loud.

After Eriri apologized, she kept her head down, staring at her toes.

Paired with her tear-stained face and petite, thin loli figure, she looked so pitiful.

"I know, let's talk about this later."

"I'm very annoyed right now..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri for a long time, then waved her hand indifferently.

"That's it?"

To the side, Kitakami Yoru muttered.

Not a shred of information had been revealed to him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also didn't break into a tirade against Eriri or mock her triumphantly as he had imagined.

In fact, she didn't even show a look of disgust.

"Is it time to re-evaluate the so-called Ethics-kun?"

Kitakami Yoru thought to himself.

"Do you have... nothing you want to say?"

Eriri slowly raised her head, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha with her swollen, dull blue eyes.

"Not for the moment."

Kasumigaoka Utaha replied with extreme conflict.

After speaking, she shifted her gaze from Eriri to Kitakami Yoru not far away.

"Now, let's talk about our business."

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked over on her own initiative, looking at Kitakami Yoru before her.

The disgust and hatred in the bottom of her heart could be said to have vanished into thin air.

Because the real culprit wasn't Kitakami Yoru, meaning everything she had imagined was wrong.
