Chapter 936 264: No Longer Frail
"..."
An Le looked with horror at Sakuragi Hitomi in front of her, who was gently blowing away the steam from her coffee cup.
After a moment of silence, she glanced at the coffee receipt beside her, took out her phone, and opened Sakuragi Hitomi's chat page on plane.
After transferring the money for her own cup of coffee, An Le didn't even glance at the hot coffee in front of her before she planned to get up and leave,
"Sorry, Vice President Sakuragi, I don't understand what you're saying... I have something to attend to, so I'll head back to class first. Goodbye."
"Aren't you going to try the coffee from this new shop? I think it tastes pretty good."
Sakuragi Hitomi blinked, smiling as usual.
An Le pursed her lips and did not respond, continuing to turn and leave.
Just as she turned her head, she heard the gentle voice of Sakuragi Hitomi from behind,
"An Le, it's okay if you don't agree to what I just said right now. I won't hold any hostility towards you because of this, and I hope you won't hold any towards me either...
"However, my promise always counts, so you can go back and reconsider it~"
An Le's eyes narrowed slightly as she turned back to look at Sakuragi Hitomi sipping her coffee.
Just as she was about to speak, Sakuragi Hitomi suddenly remembered something, showing a troubled expression,
"There is one other thing I wish you'd agree to immediately: Please stop actively using your superpower on the President and other hosts.
"In return, they will overlook what happened in Ying Country and won't trouble you in the future.
"From now on, everyone will get along peacefully, minding their own business, okay?"
At this moment, despite Sakuragi Hitomi's gentle words, An Le keenly sensed a subtle hint of eeriness beneath.
As if terrifying consequences would follow if she didn't agree to this matter.
"...Alright, I agree to this, Vice President Sakuragi."
After a moment of thought, An Le consented.
Since her modifier progress was now reset to zero, as long as there was no fighting, she could still rely on the prestige established by Ying Country's previous victories, but if a fight really broke out...
Since Sakuragi Hitomi was willing to mediate, agreeing now had no downsides for her.
She would consider the situations of Yan Huan and Bai Yi, and make a decision with Xiao Huan later.
"Great, An Le~"
Sakuragi Hitomi smiled slightly, exhaled at the coffee in her cup, her eyes slightly brightened, and said,
"By the way, are you really not going to try this coffee? It's quite good."
"...No, thanks."
An Le shook her head, politely declining, and decided to leave without engaging further with the rather unsettling Sakuragi Hitomi.
Watching An Le leave, Sakuragi Hitomi, as she had claimed, wasn't upset at all and continued to elegantly savor her coffee.
However, as she was drinking, she seemed to sense something, and her hand suddenly stopped moving.
"Gurgle..."
The surface of the coffee rippled, mirroring her cold eyes beneath long lashes in a blur.
Then, she put down the coffee cup, turned her head, and looked towards the direction of the athletic field...
"Has another rat dared to crawl out of its hole? Well, it'll save me the effort of finding them one by one tonight..."
After pondering for a moment, she slowly rose to leave.
However, as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed the green plants decorating this newly opened coffee shop weren't fully planted, and a gardener's spade was just left stuck in the soil.
Sakuragi Hitomi gazed at the spade for a long time, revealing a delightful smile.
She turned to a staff member who happened to be coming out with a coffee delivery and politely asked,
"Excuse me, may I borrow your shop's spade for a moment? I'll return it shortly after using it..."
"Ah, no problem, you can return it anytime before school ends, we won't need it until the evening."
"Alright, thank you!"
With permission granted, Sakuragi Hitomi then held the seemingly slightly heavy spade with both hands and slowly dragged it away from the spot,
"Heave-ho... Heave-ho..."
"Clang... clang clang clang..."
As she dragged the spade, it lightly tapped the ground, producing a series of crisp sounds along the way.
...
...
"Sakuragi, are you okay?!"
Beside the athletic field, inside the equipment room.
Yan Huan was startled by Sakuragi's sudden fall on the flat ground, and he hurriedly rushed over to the motionless Sakuragi lying on the ground, worried that she might have hurt herself badly in the fall.
But it was also at this moment that Yan Huan noticed a name tag-like item stuck on the back of Sakuragi's blue and white outfit, resembling a hospital gown.
However, the name tag didn't have Sakuragi's name; instead, it only bore a single black character.
"...Sickness?"
Yan Huan stared blankly at the name tag on her back, wondering if the E class cultural festival planned some kind of Ghost House with Sakuragi Hitomi as an NPC?
But given Sakuragi's physical condition, she might rely on her astounding falling techniques to scare people...
Without thinking much more, Yan Huan quickly reached out to turn Sakuragi Hitomi over and held her in his arms.
It wasn't until her body was in his arms that Yan Huan realized how incredibly petite and frail she was...
It felt as if a gentle squeeze from Yan Huan would cause her to spin around twice right where they stood.
And after turning her over, Yan Huan could see her expression at that moment.
He found her completely disoriented from the fall, her forehead reddened, and her eyes spinning dizzily.
"Sakuragi, Sakuragi!"
After softly calling her name a few times, she seemed to slightly regain her senses, grimacing in Yan Huan's arms and softly whimpering while holding her head,
"Ugh..."
She appeared to be in a lot of pain...
Seeing her wake up, Yan Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But looking at her clumsiness that even a flat surface could cause her to trip over, Yan Huan was increasingly concerned.
