Youzitsu: To Protect Her Smile

Chapter 9: You're Beyond Redemption

Kōdo Ikusei High School

Although it's a high school, graduates can directly enter the workforce after graduation, bypassing the value of a university degree. Additionally, they have a 99.9% probability of landing their desired jobs, thanks to the highly advanced facilities and technology used in the school.

Despite being a high school, the institution has a unique system characterized by a high degree of freedom. While there exists a stud...

Chapter 52: Messing With Other Mentality

"Alright, enough chitchat."

Kensuke stood up.

Before leaving, he remembered something again and confirmed once more.

"Koshimizu-san, before I came to see you, has anyone— um, like a detective, come to see you?"

Natsuki Koshimizu blinked and shook her head, saying, "No, you're the first one to visit me."

"Good, very good."

Kensuke smiled and nodded.

In every aspect, this commission was really satisfying ...

Chapter 8: Your 'basic' doesn't even reach the level of an average person, does it?

"Luo, we should go." Ichinose turned around, excitedly tapping on my wooden desk.

After the school bell rang for the end of the afternoon classes, the atmosphere and energy of the entire class suddenly became lively, as if collectively participating in some group activity. Not only their actions but also the content of Ichinose's words highlighted my 'outsider' status. The second day of school was ...

Chapter 7: A Clear Blind Spot

At least in my values, as long as the school bell hasn't rung, it's the students' own time, and how to allocate it should be decided by their own consciousness.

So, I never comply with the compulsory early arrival and morning reading orders from teachers.

Hmm, I admire this reason for staying in bed. Without a doubt, I'm the mainstay standing at the dormitory elevator door when it's close to class time.

I watched as the numbers on the elec...

070: Sleeping Together

"Um, Yui, can't we discuss this?"

Asuna's face was mournful. She couldn't just refuse Yui's request with a stern face, could she? After all, the other was an innocent little girl. Could she really reject her like this?

However, something even more unexpected happened. Yui bit her lip, looking as if she would cry if Asuna didn't agree. Truly, she was exploiting the advantages of being a child to the fullest.

"Big Sister Asuna, it's the first time ...

Chapter 6: Do You Intend To Do Something To Me?

"Luo, what are your plans next?"

There were no scheduled classes today; instead, the day was meant for us to familiarize ourselves with the facilities of the entire school. However, I didn't plan to act for this purpose; the best way to hide from others was to consider hiding myself as well.

"I'm planning to go straight back to the dorm."

"And then?" Ichinose asked.

"I'll probably conserve energy," I said uncertainl...

Chapter 51: Did You Really Do It?

After hanging up the phone, Kensuke's mouth curled into a smile.

"So, that ten million deal eventually came back to me."

"Oh, it seems it was Koshimizu-san who called."

Although lawyers are the kind of job where you would have a high-income, such high-value commissions are usually hard to come by.

"She ended up killing someone in the end."

Haibara sighed with regret.

"Alright, stop lamenting there, we should get going...

Chapter 5: Being Regarded as a Weirdo

"Luo, aren't you leaving yet? The entrance ceremony is about to start."

Lost in thought, I was counting the leaves of the tall trees outside the window when Ichinose suddenly whispered softly in my ear.

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought."

"Hmm, don't you feel left out, with the class being so lively— Oh, by the way, you haven't added my contact information yet, even though we're so close? You didn't even say hi?"

"I don't t...

Chapter 4: The Ability Encapsulated in 'Acceptance'

There aren't many secrets in this world, even for those who try to keep them hidden.

They're just people who have become desperate with life.

Despairing of life has a very common expression, as can be illustrated through the story of Sisyphus. Most people have probably heard of his legend, but considering that everyone is unique, I intend to explain it here.

Sisyphus was a character in Greek mythology, the founder and...

"The deal is done, congratulations, Momo. You've successfully evolved from flirting to kidnapping young girls. You're advancing further on the scumbag's path, and the death star above your head is shining. It's the light of a firewood hatchet!"

"For my daughter, even if it means death, I would still do it!"

"Are you a hidden daughter lover?"

"Nonsense, I am a proud and righteous daughter lover! Why wouldn't I love a cute daughter like Yui? L...

Chapter 3: Sleep

After a few minutes of talking, it's safe to assume that Ichinose was a cheery extrovert, the type of person who was very talkative, after talking about the chance of the Piano club existing in our High School, and the difficulty on the making of one in case it doesn't, our conversation topics continued to change, most of them happened due to something that caught Ichinose attention, such as how she would talk about the pool when we were talking about the temperature of...

Argo's smile was somewhat bitter, but this was her decision. Despite having certain emotions lingering in her heart, Argo decided to intercept them and not let them erupt.

Asuna smiled faintly, saying, "Well then, I really believe in you, Argo. As you said, after all, it's just a task, just a game. Momo definitely can't bear to refuse you and Yui. After all, that's just who he is."

"Yeah, even though he looks like a playboy, so far, e...

"Kid, don't forget your bag." The annoying man tossed the checked messenger bag to me and lit a cigarette from his suit pocket, exhaling a thick puff of smoke in front of me without a care.

"The school's official website specifically states that there will be a security check before enrollment. Why the extra step?" I casually took the bag, holding it in my hand, and asked.

"It's necessary~ You know how it is, none of the boy up there really have ...

Ever since the teachers let me out of our training room, I always found the sound of rain relaxing, for some reason, the way it constantly changing the sound it produce relative to the material it hit when it reached the ground make my heartbeat slowed down.

Due to the rain, the traffic light across the sidewalk become quite blurred to my eyes,...

The defense lawyer's argument that Conan couldn't have caused a concussion by kicking is indeed reasonable from the perspective of an ordinary person.

After all, how much force could a child's kick have?

However, this is a courtroom.

The law cannot be determined by such simplistic notions.

Regarding the defendant's forced argument, Kensuke smirked, showing a disdainful smile.

After Natsuki Koshimizu left, Haibara turned to Kensuke.

"You're inciting a crime," she said.

"What are you talking about?" Kensuke pretended to be surprised.

"When did you hear me inciting her to commit a crime? Those words were just to drum up business for myself," he replied.

Haibara sighed. "You're basically encouraging her to commit a crime and then come to you for defense, aren't you? What if she actually goes an...

Teacher's office, in the partitioned area.

Amano lounged casually on the sofa, legs propped up on the coffee table, as if the person in front of him wasn’t his own homeroom teacher.

Each student ID could create two accounts: one for regular use, similar to WeChat for communication between classmates, and a...

Kensuke raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl in front of him.

It seemed she had come prepared.

"After the conclusion of this case, I investigated the relevant witnesses, such as the shops where the perpetrator bought props on DVDs and books," Natsuki Koshimizu said, looking into Kensuke's eyes.

"As I continuously questioned them, their memories seemed a bit fuzzy. For example, they might not actually remember whether the perpetrator bough...

"Argo is trying to walk a tightrope, which is actually a manifestation of her severe self-protection in her mind. On one hand, she values the friendship between herself and Asuna, fearing that this friendship might be damaged. On the other hand, she's also afraid that her own actions might completely deteriorate her relationship with me."

Watching as Momo opened his arms towards her, a hesitant expression flashed across Yui's face, but she quickly dismissed it from her mind and ran towards Momo with a smile, throwing herself into his embrace.

Yui nestled in. She was delicate like porcelain, yet her touch carried warmth, flooding Momo's heart with a strange feeling.

Momo's smile on his face became even brighter.

This must be paternal love!

Reimu sighed and said, "I'm too lazy to argue with you. Since you like to bluff your way through, I won't stop you. Anyway, as a guide, I've done what I should. Do as you please."
