Chapter Thirty-Seven: Skipping Class

  "Ah, one senior student, another senior student!"

  "Idol senior, idol senior!"

  "Lu Jia, Lu Jia Jiang!"

  Early in the morning, the classroom entrance was crowded with day students, excitedly shouting out the names of their admired seniors, hoping to get their attention.

  "It's a match for Holy Chocolate Day!" said one who was leaning against the window with an astonished face.

  "Huh?" Lili picked up the card that was sticking out of her pocket and pulled it out. "What's this?"

  "Please invite me to be your dance partner." Lili raised her head and looked at Zhui Kui.

  "Is that so? I don't want it, give it to Lili instead." Zhī Kuí said with a calm face, as if it had nothing to do with him.

  "Whoosh——"

  "Kaike can really take it, someone's got a lot of nerve." Red Maria pulled the card out of Rimi's hand and started talking to herself. I was standing in the distance, hiding behind a black line, you plan on offending everyone in this academy?

  "Ah, sorry." Red Maria returned the card to Lili and ran back to her own seat with a smile.

  "Hey, class is starting, you little rascals! Aren't you going to return to your seats?" Nightwalker Decaprio walked in with his logic book, as usual reminding the disobedient vampires below.

  Suddenly, I turned to the side with both hands propping up my chin and a smiling Red Maria. I was stunned for a moment. How could you appear so obviously in front of that NO. 1 hunter?

  I'm licking the lemon-flavored lollipop in my hand, flipping through the logic book in my hand out of boredom. It would have been better to come back on the day of the dance party, no need to attend such a boring class, and it seems like I can eat the cookies made by Sabas soon.

  "Hei Zhu, no snacks allowed in class." The night watchman with fewer than ten teeth stared at me.

  "If I don't eat, can I sleep?" Seeing Zero staring at him from outside the window, as if monitoring his every move. "But I'd rather play with Zero."

  As soon as the words fell, several strong gazes shot towards me. I tilted my head, wondering, what did I do to be stared at like this? It must be an illusion, auto-shielding.

  "Well then, I'm off. Others say that if you don't skip class as a student, it's not like being a student at all..." With that said, she slightly bowed and ran out.

  Jiulang Juzhong slightly furrowed his brow, when did his Chuiying go bad? Jiulang Juzhong's mind flashed with the image of the smiling and treacherous Dean, as well as that devil. He lowered his head, narrowing his eyes to flash a hint of danger, it should be more likely that the Dean was involved. (The Dean in the distance shivered, his face stiff as he wondered why he had a bad premonition.)

  "Teacher, why didn't you stop her?" Lán Táng glared at Yè Jiǎo Shí Yá with a displeased expression, as if she had snatched his candy.

  "Ah, let her be, after all she's the daughter of that foolish student council president. She won't cause any trouble with Zero around." Yoruichi continued teaching, stroking his forehead.

  She slightly opened her eyes, with a deep and mysterious smile in them. My lovely Sakura seems to be very popular~~ There are four of them, actually there's that child, and... Kyoraku Shunsui.

  "Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Zero frowned at me, seemingly displeased with my actions.

  "Ah, I skipped class." I continued licking the lollipop in my hand. "Zero, want to go play together?"

  "......Ah." Zero reluctantly agreed, anyway they had already skipped class and couldn't let her go back to get scolded by the teacher.

  "That's great! Zero, I've never been to the daytime section before. Let's go take a look and see what's different from the nighttime section. I heard there's an outdoor café too, want to check it out?" With an expectant face, she pulled Zero's hand towards the daytime section.

  "Hey!" Zero called out in exasperation, tugging on the hand of the person he was with. Didn't she know that at this hour, the night shift wasn't allowed to go there? A warm heat emanated from her hand, but he decided to humor her and accompany her anyway.

  "Ah, it's Zero and Sakuragi!" A surprised cry came from behind, and the voice was unmistakably Yuki's.

  "Yuuki?" Turning around, I looked at Yuuki who had a surprised expression. Then I saw her staring at my hand which was holding Zero's, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

  "How despicable! That wind chime actually dared to call out Princess Kurenai's name so rudely!"

  "It's just that, Princess Kurenai and she aren't close."

  "Look! Princess Katsuragi and Konoe-sama are holding hands!!"

  "Wow! They're a great match, but I think Sakuya and Kuranosuke would also make a good couple."

  Hibiscus princess? When was I ever called a princess? However, I did see Ume's face getting darker and darker, as if she was going to eat me up or something, but can she really do that?

  "Don't go there! Maria-san, because now is the time for daytime classes here!" Red Maria ran out, followed by a tight pursuit.

  "Exaggerated, I just wanted to sneak a peek at the outdoor cafe." Hong Malia turned around, beaming with a smile. "Hehe ~~ really happy."

  As the arrival of a certain someone, almost everyone in the daytime department was stirred up. I felt the hand holding mine tighten, and when I looked up, I saw Zero's face repressing his emotions, his gaze fixed intently on You, if not for the vigilance and disgust in his eyes, I would have thought he had taken a liking to You~~

  "Zero." He pulled on his hand, switching back his consciousness.

  "......Stay away from her." Zero, you don't need to warn me again. And now it's impossible for me to stay away from her, because she is mine.

  "Yuji-chan, Kuu-nee-chan~~" Rantou came over with a smiling face, I wonder if we're skipping class again today? Ah, it seems like I'm the one leading this time. "This is our second time meeting during the day."

  "Even our idol senpai has arrived!"

  "Oh, Blue Hall Senior!"

  They hugged each other!!

  Rantaro seemed to not have seen us, and as he walked over, he suddenly hugged Yuuki in his arms, just like a long-lost lover. And Yuuki's face was full of surprise on the surface, but her eyes were filled with joy, probably because it was hard to find a man who would take the initiative to hug her. Because vampires have good hearing, I could hear Rantaro whispering in Yuuki's ear "Hehe~~ just wait and see how those jealous girls will bully you to death, Kuroba Yuuki."

  "Lan Tang, so you originally liked Yuu Ki." I secretly smiled to myself, since you want Yuu Ki to be bullied to death that much, I'll help you out~~ "No wonder you always kept mentioning Yuu Ki, it was like this after all."

  "Aoi Sakura! How did you end up here?!" Aodou, who had parted ways with Yuuki earlier, stared at me in shock, then hastily explained himself, looking like he'd been caught red-handed. "It's not what you think, Aoi Sakura, it's not like that."

  "Actually, Lantang was only paying attention to Yougui and didn't even notice the existence of me and Ling." Glanced at Yougui.

  "It's not like that! Then how do you want me to make it so you're not angry?" Looking at me with a pitiful expression, Angry? Am I angry? I was just teasing you for fun, but since you said so.

  "I want the Pocky chocolate in your pocket."

  "......Alright." Lantang resignedly took out the chocolate from his pocket, muttering to himself that it was for Sama, it was for Sama.

  "I have something to discuss with you, Blue Tang senior." Zero looked at Blue Tang as if he had something important to talk about.

  "Exactly, me too." For some reason, Yuuki was nowhere to be seen, probably being chased by a crazy girl out of jealousy.

  "You guys go ahead... I want to check out the outdoor cafe..." waving at them, turned around and ran towards the cafe, also ordered some desserts.

  It's almost time for the dance party, everyone is looking forward to what will happen at the dance party ~~ maybe there will be some unexpected possibilities ~~
