Although Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite confused by this incident, after all, running into something so terrifying out of nowhere was very strange. The key point was that the probability of an ordinary high school girl encountering something like this was infinitely close to zero. Not to mention that Shiro and two other major troublemakers were here as well. The guy in front of her was her primary suspect, but considering that he had no motive and seemingly had an alibi, he was temporarily cleared of suspicion!
"Since you don't know, then forget about it."
"Then how did you find those guys?"
At that moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka had a strange expression on her face. How had this guy found them? After all, he had an alibi and didn't know what they looked like, so did he have some special method?
Shiro looked at the confused expression on the other party's face and felt a little helpless. Was he really that useless?
"You should know how to find people like that. Otherwise, not to mention anything else, those guys wouldn't have gotten very far after being sent there. Don't forget my spatial abilities, and more importantly, just prioritize people with strong killing intent."
"So filtering targets is very simple. During that period, around here, they were either people I know, such as bodyguards, because they often hang around here, or they were those two guys, aliens, and complete strangers. If it wasn't them, then who else could it have been?"
As soon as Shiro said that, a certain person was left speechless, because what he said made sense. In this situation, it was as if the words "who is the culprit" had been directly written in front of them.
"Good, as long as the problem is solved, that's what matters most."
Hiratsuka Shizuka confirmed that Shiro hadn't killed the wrong people and then felt relieved. After all, his behavior earlier had been completely irrational. If he had gone outside and started randomly killing people, she wouldn't have doubted it in the slightest, considering his strength and the state he had been in at the time.
"It's good that you didn't lose control. I was afraid you would completely lose your temper and kill everyone you saw."
"Do you know how terrifying your condition was?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka also looked as though she was still affected by it as she spoke. She had never expected that this usually cheerful guy had such a side. It was far too frightening.
"Oh, come on, I was already holding back, okay? If I had really let myself go, not only would you be feeling fear after everything, but your heart probably would have stopped on the spot."
Although Shiro's words sounded serious, they were the complete truth. He had already been holding back, okay? However, those words did not receive the other party's approval; instead, she looked at him with an expression full of disbelief.
Shiro felt helpless because of that and had nothing to explain. After all, whether she believed him or not was up to her.
"By the way, when did you, kid, get involved with such a serious model student?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka also fell silent for a moment, then tilted her head and looked at Shiro curiously.
After all, how should she put it? Judging by his behavior, if someone said the two of them had no relationship whatsoever, she wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death. The problem was that she knew her students. Their personalities simply weren't compatible. To be brutally honest, under normal circumstances, even if this guy were an ordinary person, he would definitely be a rule-breaker, while she would be a guardian of school discipline, which would inevitably lead to conflict between them.
It would be like a collision between Mars and Earth. Yet, judging from their earlier relationship, there was obviously something between them, otherwise he wouldn't have become so explosively angry.
"Confess honestly, did you force someone or something like that? Otherwise, I really don't believe the two of you could be together."
Hiratsuka Shizuka now had an expression as if she had seen through the truth. After all, the facts were right in front of her. In her eyes, this was the only truth; otherwise, it would be a miracle for the two of them to be together. Not to mention that yesterday she had seen with her own eyes how this guy forced someone to live a notorious life—ah, no, although that was a bit exaggerated, the meaning was roughly the same, so she had to be suspicious. This guy already had a record.
Upon hearing that and seeing her suspicious gaze scanning him from head to toe, inside and out, Shiro couldn't help letting out a cold sigh and putting on an innocent expression.
"You're slandering me! What could I possibly force her to do?"
"Let me tell you, I didn't use any coercive methods. You have to understand one thing: yesterday's situation was different. If I hadn't taken her in, would you have taken care of her? Not to mention that your house is unbelievably messy. Even if you had taken her in, it would have been the same as hiring a maid."
"Most importantly, do you think she would have felt comfortable in that situation?"
"Most important of all, where was I wrong yesterday? What was wrong with my actions? Repaying debts is a completely natural thing, let alone a life-saving debt. Of course I would repay that life first."
"And with me, she's safe and lacks nothing. Besides, she no longer has to desperately try to be a 'good child' and please parents who have no feelings for her, as she did before."
"So tell me, what's so bad about being with me?"
As soon as Shiro said that, the other party was left speechless. After all, there was nothing she could say; the situation truly was special!
"Cough, cough, cough. I admit that your situation back then was a little special, but when it comes to this matter, no matter what, my judgment of people doesn't fail. Your personalities are simply destined to clash."
"But now things are like this. As the homeroom teacher, I have an obligation to clarify the situation in the name of the homeroom teacher."
Shiro looked at her righteous expression and felt a headache coming on. He knew that what he hated most was dealing with this type of person, and for both emotional and logical reasons, he really couldn't just brush it aside.
"I admit that, honestly speaking, this type of person is absolutely incompatible with me. It's just that, well, you should know that my terrible luck had one small accident. Besides, do you understand the value of a story where a hero saves a girl in distress?"
As soon as Shiro said that, the other party immediately understood what had happened. At the same time, she cursed him inwardly, realizing what kind of game he was playing. But something felt very wrong to her.
"Are you sure you didn't orchestrate this entire thing yourself?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka knew very well what people like that were like. Those seemingly diligent and exemplary students were actually very naive in certain matters, while this guy was an old fox, completely shameless.
To be honest, this was a story between a little white rabbit and a cruel wolf king. Because of that, she seriously suspected that this guy had pulled some strings behind the scenes, for example, orchestrating the entire hero-saves-the-girl-in-distress situation.
