The two sat quietly at opposite ends of the bench, dining with what seemed like an invisible wall between them.
Yukino Yukinoshita had very little lunch, and although Kiriharu came later, they actually finished eating at the same time.
After finishing her meal, Wu Qing wiped her mouth with a tissue and prepared to take out the replica knife she had prepared yesterday to begin training.
But then Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly called out to him.
"Um, do you have any extra tissues?"
"Forehead?"
Kiriharu, who had just stood up, turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita, then took out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you."
Yukino Yukinoshita pulled out a tissue and handed it back to Kirishiro.
Wu Qing smiled and said, "You're welcome."
After their brief exchange, the two went back to doing their own things.
Yukino Yukinoshita held the small book and looked down at it carefully.
Wu Qing also took out two replica knives and began to swing them.
Brush brush!
Wu Qing's second-rate skill level is already at the beginner level.
Compared to yesterday, his movements were more fluid, and he wielded his twin swords with great sharpness and increasing speed.
"Ok?"
This commotion caught the attention of Yukino Yukinoshita.
She looked up in surprise at Wu Qing and the replica knife in his hand.
Yesterday they were using tree branches, and today they've switched to real weapons?
Yukino Yukinoshita actually knew about Kiriharu. She had met Kiriharu several times in the corridor and was amazed by Kiriharu's beauty when they first met.
But that's all.
However, after spending two brief moments together on the rooftop, she discovered that Wu Qing was not only handsome but also very hardworking.
Even during lunch break, she would practice her swordsmanship. Her figure, striving to chase after something with her sword, won Yukino's favor.
But she didn't know.
Wu Qing only really wanted the prize money...
Chapter Thirteen: Rescuing the Kitten, Shy Yukino
Seeing Kiriharu's diligent efforts, Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and smoothed her long, beautiful black hair behind her, preparing to continue reading.
But just then, a cat's meow was heard.
"Meow meow!"
Upon hearing the cry for help, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately put down her book and stood up to look at the source of the sound.
The meows were very close, so Yukino looked around and found a pure black kitten on a branch behind her.
This is the fifth floor.
How did you get here...?
Yukino's eyes softened considerably.
She loves cats; you could even call her a cat lover.
So when she saw a kitten in distress, she would definitely try to rescue it, but the kitten was in a far and high place.
No matter what method she used, she couldn't save the cat unless she had superhuman abilities and could jump three meters high...
"Wait here, I'll find a way to help you!"
Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to go downstairs to find someone to help her.
However, as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Wu Qing's arms.
"what!"
Yukino Yukinoshita cried out in surprise and almost fell over.
Fortunately, Wu Qing caught her slender waist in time.
"When did you get behind me...?"
Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly and quickly stood up.
"I just got here. You want to save that kitten?"
Wu Qing glanced at her, then walked to a spot directly below the cat, hands on her hips, and observed it closely.
Yukino Yukinoshita blinked and asked, "Would you be willing to help?"
"Of course, how could I stand idly by in this situation?"
Wu Qing looked at the little black cat and thought it was a bit outrageous.
They actually climbed that high! They probably started from the rooftop. Were they trying to catch some birds? They're really brave.
"Thank you, but the two of us can't save it on our own. I'll go down and find someone to help."
"Need not."
Kirishi raised her hand to indicate that Yukino didn't need to do that.
"But......"
Yukino Yukinoshita initially looked puzzled, but when she saw Kiriharu's actions, her beautiful eyes widened immediately.
Suddenly, Wu Qing leaped up from her spot, jumping more than three meters high, and easily rescued the little black cat.
The little black cat struggled fiercely in Wu Qing's arms, meowing incessantly, and even reaching out its claws to attack her.
However, it was too young, and the mist had high defense.
Its claws, powerful enough to draw blood from an ordinary person, only left faint white marks on Wu Qing's arm.
"You actually!"
Yukino was quite surprised.
At first, she thought that Wu Qing just liked kendo.
I never expected Wu Qing to possess such an ability!
He jumped more than three meters high, he was like a superman!
Of course, Yukino knew about the martial artist's existence, and her surprise didn't last long before she turned her attention to the kitten.
"Climbing that high is very dangerous, luckily we found you."
Yukino walked towards Kirishin and got very close, so close that Kirishin could smell her faint fragrance.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright now."
She took the kitten from Wu Qing's arms, and although she made a petting motion, her face remained expressionless.
If it were an ordinary girl, upon seeing such an adorable little black cat, she would probably pick it up and turn into a fairy maiden.
But this is Yukino Yukinoshita, a cold and taciturn ice beauty.
The kitten suddenly quieted down in her arms and kept snuggling against Yukino, as if it had encountered another of its kind.
"Thank you for helping me. My name is Yukino Yukinoshita. And you are?"
Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at Kiriharu.
“Wu Qing,” Wu Qing said.
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "Actually, I know your name. Anyway, thank you, Kiriharu-san."
She knew everyone's name in the school, including Wu Qing's.
Wu Qing didn't find this strange at all.
Because Yukino Yukinoshita has this kind of character setting, she remembers the names of everyone in the school.
However, this was the first time the two had officially met, because Kiriharu had passed by Yukino several times before, but had failed to notice her due to certain things.
Yukino, who noticed Kiriharu, did not take the initiative to get to know her; they simply passed each other by.
What are you going to do with this cat?
Kiriharu looked at the kitten in Yukino's arms and said.
Upon hearing this, Yukino looked at the trembling kitten and was also at a loss.
She can't keep cats at home.
Because her family upbringing was very strict.
"I can't raise it..."
Yukino patted the kitten's head and said regretfully.
"What about giving it to one of your friends?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Qing slapped her forehead.
By the way, Yukino doesn't have many friends.
She became a friend after the Service Department was established.
Kiriharu has never heard of the Service Club, which means that Yukino Yukinoshita is currently all alone.
"I have no friends..."
As Kirishin expected, Yukino said those words.
But soon, Yukino turned her gaze to Kiriharu, "Kiriharu-san, if it's convenient for you, could you adopt it?"
“I’m renting a house, and I’m not sure if the landlord will let me keep it. How about this, let’s keep it on the rooftop for now, and I’ll ask around later. Anyway, it’s just the two of us here, so we just need to make a nest for it.”
Wu Qing touched the back of her head.
