Chapter 43: Dormitory

  Watching Yuuki walk towards the open-air balcony with an expectant and joyful expression, a faint smile playing on her lips, before heading to the hall. Akira was taken out by Aoi, probably to see the body found in the underground storage room. But Ruka finally accepted Akira's invitation to dance, good job Akira~~ And as for Ichika... currently flirting with a group of girls, laughing and smiling together. So this is what it means to flirt, just like Aoi said, or was it just Akira joking about storing food? Flirting can be understood, but what does the "big radish" mean?

  "Where did you go? To Jiu Lan Zhuo's place?" Ling had just chased away the daytime department girl he had saved before, and when he turned his head, he saw that person who was staring at Touma, with a hint of black lines thinking that it wouldn't be that one either, one of the males in the harem.

  "Yes, just now I saw a girl from the day department inviting you to dance, so I didn't go disturb. I was watching her batting her eyelashes~~~ Ah, ah~~~ Zero, why do people say 'flower heart big radish' behind your back? There's no such word in the dictionary." She looked up at Zero with a "tell me, tell me" expression on her face.

  "I don't know, don't think about these weird things! Come on, let's go dance." Ling Hei pulled Ren to the dance floor, who knows who taught her this, actually teaching her nonsense to harm others.

  A bit of a black line raised its head to look at Zero, this height difference is simply like playing with kindergarten kids, why didn't I grow taller but instead shrunk? It's all the fault of that old god!! "Hey~ Zero, let's not jump, it's just like a giraffe and a cat dancing."

  "......" Rei seemed to not hear me and pulled me up to dance, I had never heard that Rei could dance before, did he learn it from his previous life in the Tsurugi household? However, his relationship with Aoi seems tense, I'll find an opportunity to get them to make up, after all they were once close twin siblings.

  Due to the height difference, the hands that were supposed to hold Zero's shoulders could only wrap around his waist. Taking a step forward, they twirled with the music, then stepped out, jumping into a perfectly standard waltz. As they danced together, Zero's eyes were gentler than usual, not giving off the feeling of being rejected from afar, and his face wasn't as cold and stern, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in a small arc - this kind of Zero would definitely make girls scream.

  As the song ended, I could feel the girls' scorching gazes on Rei, but why were some boys also staring at me like that? Rei subtly helped block those gazes and then started giving people the cold shoulder again. Turning around, I saw Yuuki had come out from the balcony and was waiting by the wall, anxiously looking at me. I let go of Rei's hand and walked towards Yuuki, causing everyone to glare at her instead.

  "Yuuki, have you danced with Akuta?"

  "Hmm, Xuexue's dance is quite good." Looking at Yuuki's blushing face makes me want to roll my eyes. After all, Yuuki's face looks a lot like mine, and I couldn't imagine myself making such an expression - just thinking about it gives me the chills. But seriously, Yuuki, are you sure you didn't step on Xuexue's foot? You're wearing high heels, and whoever gets stepped on by you is going to be in a lot of pain.

  "Hey, Akira, can you go somewhere with me? Afterwards, I'll give you lots of snacks."

  "Alright." Blinking her eyes in response, Yuuki, is this behavior of yours considered seduction? The sweets you gave me are definitely not as delicious as the ones Sabasu made.

  Yuuki's eyes flashed with a triumphant glint, and she pulled my hand to walk out. Along the way, Yuuki asked me about Rei and Tsukino House, while I smiled and brushed her off.

  "Yuuki, you're taking me to the Moon Dorm? I tilted my head in confusion and looked at her, because as a student of the Night Class, it was strange for her to bring me here. I wanted to see how Yuuki would respond."

  "Uh... I am... uh..." Yuuki was clearly caught off guard by the question, at a loss for words and unsure of how to respond.

  "Since we're both here, let's go in." To be honest, I wanted to get in even faster than Yuki, to end this boring conversation.

  Yuji's eyes lit up, took a deep breath, and pushed open the thick and solid large door. The instant brightness slightly pained his eyes, and he instinctively covered them with his hand, peeking through his fingers to see the silver-haired girl sitting on the sofa.

  "Has it been decided?" Xian seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and tonight she was wearing a chic black dress with a white ** at the hem, looking lively yet somehow eerie.

  Yuugi looked at me and said "Alright, I'll give you Kuroba Aoi!"

  "Haha~~ I knew it. " With a smile that seemed to say 'I knew it', he gazed at Yuuki with a dangerous glint in his eyes, then stretched out his hand. "Come here, Sakura."

  I glared at Yuuki with discontent, what's the meaning of handing me over to you, as if I'm some kind of object. Walking up, I grasped Lle's hand, and Lle smiled saying "Right, really obedient huh~~"

  I sat quietly beside Xia, watching Yuji after that and how to deal with Xia. Without the help of Ling and Jie brothers, Yuji was destined to become a dead soul.

  "I've already handed over Kuroba Aoi to you, so as a condition of exchange, tell me the way to rescue Rei."

  "Hehe~~" Xiao seemed to have completely ignored Yuuki's voice, grabbed my hand and put my fingers in his mouth, lightly licking them. "I believe Sakura's blood... must be extremely delicious..."

  My fingers were bitten by the sharp fangs, although it hurt a bit, but since the target was Rou, it was different. Moreover, Rou promised to give Maria a healthy body, and sucking my blood should be enough, so Rou could fulfill his promise too. However, seeing me being sucked dry with an excited face, Yuuki looked very displeased, pouting her mouth in dissatisfaction.

  "......Hurry up and tell me the way to rescue Rei!!" You called out to me, seemingly impatient. I smiled with my eyes half-closed, "Yuuki, no one told you that people who are impolite will be punished?"

  "Bang——"

  "Ah!" Yuuki's impertinence was heard by a silent figure who appeared outside the door, and without mercy, slapped Yuuki with a palm that sent her flying two meters away, leaving a bright red handprint on her pale face.

  "Hmph! How uncivilized. Fine, as agreed, I'll tell you the way to save Zero now. Alright, those small fries have retreated, haven't they?"

  A slender figure held a leisurely body, with long silver hair trailing to the ground, skin as crystal clear as snow and smooth as jade. His expression was respectful and submissive, nodding slightly towards Red Maria "Yes, Lord Idle."

  "I knew it, they're all well-behaved good kids~ can't hurt the pure-blooded body······ this thought is as natural as breathing." Her mouth curved into a sly arc, as if mocking Yuki's previous rudeness. Slowly walking to her own sleeping body, she gently grasped the icy pale hand.

  The moment the hand was grasped, the body that had been separated from it slowly opened its eyes. The dense eyebrows parted to reveal pale pink eyes like cherry blossoms. A strange thing happened - Akane Maria and Shizuku were wearing the same expression, their eyes half-closed as they smiled eerily. Holding hands, they spoke in unison: "The way to save Zero is very simple, that child just needs to drink my blood."
