Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 487 - Sakurai Yaeko's Confusion

Regarding Sakurai’s school transfer, Chiba’s feelings were the most complicated. However, her name did not appear in Lu Shu’s distress record.

Lu Shu still chose to leave the campus immediately after school. He had no intention to join any co-curricular activities because of a lack of interest and the necessity to keep low-key as of now.

The noon incident had made him realize that his ident.i.ty could cause suspicion even under the disguise of someone else’s face. Thus, he could not be sure whether Sakurai would finally find any evidence against him in the long time spent together.

Sakurai mentioned nothing about cultivation with Lu Shu, as though she was just a commoner. Perfect acting skills.

As Lu Shu was walking out of the school premises, Sakurai followed him closely, which generated another huge wave of distress points for Lu Shu from other boys.

However, instead of heading straight back to the dojo, Lu Shu made a sudden turn and walked Sakurai to the most crowded place in school. Then, they walked a big round around the campus before going back to the school gate again…

“Sensei… What are you doing?” Sakurai was confused.

“I’m showing you around the school!” Lu Shu replied naturally, “Over there is the main cla.s.sroom block. That’s the field and that’s the male restroom…”

Lu Shu realized earning j.a.panese high school students’ distress points was an effortless task…

In fact, some students, who focused more on studies and paid little attention to external activities, were not familiar with Sakurai Yaeko. After all, no high school girl was influential enough to be remembered by every boy in Nis.h.i.+nokyo. In the past, she had put in great effort to boost her popularity by visiting swordplay clubs in different schools, but never had she expected her reputation to be exploited by Lu Shu in another way…

At first, boys who did not know Sakurai well did not produce much distress. Yet, they were soon engulfed by jealousy seeing how close she was to Lu Shu, owing to her overly attractive appearance.

And jealousy was a type of negative emotion too.

Meanwhile, Sakurai felt relieved that Lu Shu did not seem to dislike her that much. If he did, why the trouble to initiate the school tour?

After the end of the lessons on the second day, however, Lu Shu smiled and said to her, “Let’s go and have another tour around the school.”

“…”

“From Sakurai Yaeko’s distress, +66!”

On the third day, the same thing repeated yet again. “Let’s have another school tour.”

“…”

“From Sakurai Yaeko’s distress, +666!”

Even morons could tell that he was up to something! But Sakurai found it difficult to figure out a reason. Was it to show others that you had a pretty girl beside you? What’s the point, then? For your ego?!

Maybe it was normal for a boy to have an ego, but it would suffice to have just one tour.

As a result, Lu Shu would bring Sakurai around the campus everyday after school. Gradually, the names “Kirihara Yousuke” and “Sakurai Yaeko” became tied together in school. Whenever one was mentioned, the other would surely be brought up too.

Gloomy, Chiba went home alone and she was no longer as cheerful as before. Indeed, all the recent happenings were a bit too cruel for her.

Lu Shu knew it too. But the thing was, he was not the real Kirihara Yousuke, who had already bid farewell to this dark, cold cavern called world.

Now, all that he could do was to distance himself from the girl as far as possible, so as to hide the truth that the boy she had protected for two years would no longer be back again. All their memories, no matter how deep and beautiful, could only be found in those yellowing photos.

But Lu Shu had no other choice. It was not sympathy, though, because no one in this world had the right to sympathize with anyone else.

That night, Lu Shu sat in the hall with a set of newspaper and a cup of tea, while Sakurai was practicing her swordplay in front of him. His flying daggers were sc.r.a.ping against the snow mountain rapidly, trying to flatten it as soon as possible.

In Sakurai’s eyes, Kirihara seemed to have no interest in cultivation at all. However, legends went that the Kiriharas’ inherited trade focused on one’s will, so she could not say for sure how his advanced training would be like after his completion of the basic one.

Take for example the Hall of Swords, they spent ages in the painstaking process of foundation reinforcement. Yet, now, Li Xianyi’s focus in cultivation was more about sharpening the intent of the sword instead of specific moves.

Suddenly Bunndai walked in. She made a bow and asked, “I’m going for grocery shopping. What do you want to eat for tomorrow’s breakfast?”

Bunndai found it inexplicable why Lu Shu decided to spend so much time with Sakurai Yaeko these few days. But he had told her about his knowledge of Sakurai Yaeko and a.s.sured her that he knew what he was doing.

Bunndai’s job was to cooperate with Lu Shu. There was no need for her own opinions and she knew it clearly.

Lu Shu thought for a moment and replied. “Anything. You may cook whatever you want.”

“Okay.” Then she made another bow and went out.

Thus, Lu Shu was left in the room alone with Sakurai. Suddenly Sakurai stopped her training and slowly removed her black knee highs, revealing her smooth legs.

Lu Shu swallowed his saliva at the sight. Sakurai was pleased, because at least it showed that the boy found her attractive.

Then, she pulled her collar to the side, and her delicate collar bones were visible at once. At this moment Bunndai was back again. “Do you prefer river eel or moray eel?”

“Moray eel. It’s cheaper…” replied Lu Shu.

After Bunndai had left, just as Sakurai was about to continue seducing Lu Shu, she was back, again. “Are you sure you still don’t want to bring your bento to school tomorrow?”

“I’m bringing. Prepare one for me,” Lu Shu said. Now he had to be more cautious about food from outside.

When Sakurai was about to resume, she suddenly forgot which step she was at! What the heck!

In less than five minutes…

“Well, I’m going shopping with you. You may practice on your own, Sakurai.” Then Lu Shu left with Bunndai, who had returned for the third time, leaving behind Sakurai who sat on the floor, dumbfounded.
