Chapter 13: Miyamizu Rin, the 18-Year-Old Beauty, is Actually a sinister Schemer?

I forgot to mention that before leaving, Arisugawa Yuu had indeed said a proper goodbye to Yukino Sora.

However, to avoid worrying her, he didn’t say too much.

He only promised to visit her whenever he had free time.

He had asked Miyamizu Rin about the possibility of free movement in the future.

The answer he received was that every time they went on a mission, the organization would give them some time to reunite with their friends and family.

Oh, and even without missions, there would be one free day each week for personal activities.

Of course, the premise for this freedom was not to leak any secrets about the organization to ordinary people.

From this perspective, the organization was quite humane. Arisugawa Yuu, who had already joined but hadn’t formally understood it yet, developed a slight fondness for it.

On the way to the so-called “ability user academy,” it started to rain.

At first, it was a gentle drizzle, but after a “rumble—” of thunder, it turned into a downpour.

The rain hit the car window with heavy, forceful thuds.

Arisugawa Yuu pressed his face against the window, feeling the power of nature.

He wondered if the abilities of those ability users were stronger or weaker than the great power of nature.

In fact, he was looking forward to it.

If possible, he hoped that the legendary abilities would be stronger.

After all, he was still at an age where he was interested in shonen manga.

Time flew by as he was lost in thought, and the car finally stopped at the entrance of a park.

Opening the car door, Arisugawa Yuu saw Miyamizu Rin, wearing a sailor uniform that accentuated her youthful and beautiful figure, holding an umbrella and looking at him calmly.

Out of a man’s instinctive appreciation for beauty, Arisugawa Yuu’s gaze swept over the girl’s snow-white, slender legs and the high peaks of her chest before meeting her eyes.

Through the dense rain curtain, Arisugawa Yuu found that the girl’s beautiful eyes were deeper than a pool of water, as if connecting to another world.

No, it wasn’t “as if.” At this moment, for Arisugawa Yuu, the girl did represent another world.

After a moment of eye contact, Miyamizu Rin suddenly smiled slightly, charming yet with a coldness that kept people at a distance.

She parted her crimson lips and said, “Arisugawa-san, did you cherish your last day as an ordinary person?”

“I will miss it, perhaps in the distant future, or perhaps in the near future.”

Arisugawa Yuu said.

Miyamizu Rin sighed gracefully, her voice cold: “It seems you didn’t cherish it well.”

Arisugawa Yuu smiled: “Miyamizu-senpai, I wonder if you’ve heard a saying—you only appreciate something when you’ve lost it.”

Miyamizu Rin was slightly taken aback and said slowly, “If you’re asking if I’ve heard it, of course I have, but—”

Before the girl could finish, Arisugawa Yuu interrupted her: “Then there’s nothing more to say, Miyamizu-senpai. No matter how reasonable a truth is, it’s still someone else’s truth. You won’t understand until you’ve experienced it yourself.”

Miyamizu Rin was slightly displeased with Arisugawa Yuu for interrupting her, and she glared at him with her beautiful eyes.

To be honest, for a girl as beautiful as her, such a glare had no deterrent effect. Instead, it made Arisugawa Yuu feel the urge to shout, “Please do it with more force!”

To prevent being mistaken for a pervert, after some thought, Arisugawa Yuu decided to change the previous sentence to—”Instead, it makes one feel the urge to shout, ‘Please do it with more force!'”

Considering that with a girl as beautiful as the one before him, it wouldn’t be strange for all men to be fascinated by her, Arisugawa Yuu felt that his change was not inappropriate.

The 18-year-old Miyamizu Rin was just that beautiful.

After glaring at Arisugawa Yuu, Miyamizu Rin didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled slightly, with a mischievousness unique to a girl.

She teased, “Arisugawa-san, have you fallen in love with that car? How long are you going to sit there?”

Arisugawa Yuu pointed at the dense rain curtain and said, “I don’t have an umbrella.”

Miyamizu Rin raised the umbrella in her hand slightly: “Why do you think I’m waiting for you here?”

Arisugawa Yuu feigned surprise: “Isn’t it because senpai misses me so much that you couldn’t wait to come here and wait for me?”

Miyamizu Rin rubbed her temples with a headache, a hint of helplessness on her delicate face: “Arisugawa-san, I thought you weren’t a frivolous person.”

Arisugawa Yuu didn’t deny it but asked with a hint of mischief, “So senpai feels a little disappointed now?”

Miyamizu Rin shook her head gracefully, saying, “No, not disappointed. In fact, I’m even a little sentimental.”

Arisugawa Yuu became curious: “Oh? What kind of sentimentality?”

Miyamizu Rin covered her lips with her slender hand and chuckled, “Just last year, there was a person as frivolous as you who died on a mission a few months ago.”

Ah, this—

It was hard to believe that a beautiful girl like Miyamizu Rin had such a sinister side.

“Miyamizu-senpai, you must be joking, right?”

“No, I’m telling the truth. Does Arisugawa-san want to continue being frivolous?”

Arisugawa Yuu looked distressed: “I’m sorry, my attitude was wrong.”

“Hmph,” Miyamizu Rin grunted noncommittally and then said, “Aren’t you coming?”

“Coming right away.”

Arisugawa Yuu was as obedient as a middle school student caught by his parents watching an 18+ DVD.

As soon as he got over, Arisugawa Yuu started to offer his help: “Miyamizu-senpai, let me hold the umbrella.”

To say he was trying to curry favor wasn’t entirely accurate.

In terms of both height and gender, it was more appropriate for him to hold the umbrella.

Hearing this, Miyamizu Rin handed the umbrella to Arisugawa Yuu.

Arisugawa Yuu reached out and took it.

On a chilly spring rainy night, the lingering warmth of the girl’s body on the umbrella handle was even more palpable.

Even long after, Arisugawa Yuu would remember this day.

He could no longer remember what his mood was like at that time, blurred by time. The only thing he clearly remembered was—this kind of warmth was very comforting.

Perhaps this act seemed a bit ambiguous, like a couple strolling in the rainy night.

Through the light cast by the dim streetlights through the rain curtain, Arisugawa Yuu discovered that the girl’s snow-white, crystal-clear earlobes were tinged with a slight pink.

It seemed that this mysterious Miyamizu-senpai was far more adorable than he had imagined.

Perhaps influenced by the subtle atmosphere, Miyamizu Rin said in a low voice, “Arisugawa-san, actually, I lied to you. The person who died on the mission wasn’t because of frivolity, but because he was too careless and made many mistakes that he shouldn’t have.”

Hearing this, Arisugawa Yuu couldn’t help but raise his voice, saying in disbelief, “What? A beautiful girl like senpai would lie?”

Miyamizu Rin smiled slightly, not denying the fact that she was a beautiful girl.

Because the girl’s smile was too charming, Arisugawa Yuu admitted that for a moment, he thought he had fallen in love.

After chuckling for a while, the girl stopped and her expression became serious: “Arisugawa-san, if you don’t want to die, study hard and don’t make mistakes you shouldn’t on missions.”

After saying this, she took a deep breath and continued, “Of course, you don’t have to have too much psychological pressure. As your guide, I will be responsible for your life.”

“So, my life has been entrusted to Miyamizu-senpai?”

Arisugawa Yuu used a joking tone.

Miyamizu Rin rubbed her temples with a headache and didn’t deny it: “Although your phrasing is very problematic, you can understand it that way.”

Thus, on a chilly spring rainy night, although not much was said, the two made such an agreement.

What Arisugawa Yuu didn’t expect at this time was that what he thought were empty words, the girl would put into practice with her life.

In the not-so-distant future.
