Both Tenya and Yukino were handsome men and beautiful women, with good academic performance. As long as they had a slight wished, they could gather a large crowd around them just by beckoning.
However, the straightforward Yukino could not accept fake friends.
Tenya likewise disdained maintaining those boring social niceties.
In a sense, his personality had certain similarities with Yukino's.
"Hmph! Yoshida-san, who has no friends, still has the nerve to talk about others?"
Although her words carried a slight hint of sarcasm, Yukino's lips curved up slightly.
Perhaps it was due to the resonance between the solitary and the solitary, even though Yukino was unwilling to admit it.
"No, as for friends, I still have one or two." Tenya said calmly.
"I'm talking about the real thing!" Yukino emphasized.
Seeing the other party so serious, Tenya just smiled and didn't explain.
Tenya said, "The bus is here... Eh?!"
The bus pulling into the station was shrouded in black mist, filled with all sorts of bizarre and grotesque oddities.
Miko was right in the middle of the wailing and howling. Her face seemed normal, but in reality, her heart was already filled with extreme fear.
"Yukinoshita-san, can you see them?" Tenya asked.
"See what?"
Yukino followed Tenya's gaze. She looked at the bus in front of them, and showed a puzzled expression.
"No, it's nothing."
"Let's get on the bus."
Tenya shook his head, thinking to himself, 'It seems there aren't many people in this world who can see the supernatural.'
In Tenya's field of vision, the entire bus was filled with bizarre monsters shrouded in black mist.
Yukino, however, was completely unaware and walked directly through those bizarre monsters.
"Can you see us?"
"Can you see us?"
"Can you see us?"
These bizarre monsters frantically questioned the passengers in the bus, trying to find humans who could see them.
Among them, a skeleton swung its scythe across human bodies.
Most of the people attacked were unharmed.
But there were also a few individuals whose complexions visibly worsened after being struck by the scythe, as if their vitality had been drained.
Tenya secretly activated his Sharingan and carefully observed the details.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"The Stock Index has dropped again and again?!"
"What a joke! My entire fortune!!"
In the front row, a bald young man was holding his phone and scrolling up and down constantly, his expression gradually becoming ferocious.
Tenya glanced curiously, it was a stock trading app.
Wow...
Poor guy.
Swish!
The bizarre scythe slashed down onto the bald young man's body.
"Found one!"
"Such a delicious aura!"
The skeleton grinned, and then swung its scythe. It hooked out a ball of blue light from the bald young man's body, and inhaled it, causing the black mist on its body to become even more vigorous.
"Cough! Cough! Cough..."
Almost at the same time, the bald young man suddenly started coughing violently, and a sickly flush appeared on his pale face.
"Damn it, are my gums bleeding?"
The bald young man wiped his mouth and found it full of blood.
However, he didn't mind, just treating it as an ordinary problem.
After all, he was still so young, an excellent programmer only twenty-six years old, what major illness could he have?
"This guy... almost had half his vitality hooked away!"
Tenya clearly saw what had happened with his sharingan.
People with negative emotions seemed more susceptible to attacks from these monsters.
The skeleton monster's next target was Miko.
Don't come over, ahhh!!
Watching the skeleton monster walk towards her with the scythe in hand, Miko's inner fear reached its peak.
"Found one!"
"The aura on you is even more delicious!!"
The skeleton monster's empty eye sockets emitted an eerie green light, and it stared at Miko with an excited expression.
Tenya originally wanted to observe a few more samples, but since the one being attacked was someone he knew, he couldn't just stand by.
"Yo~ Yotsuya-san, good morning." Tenya waved and greeted Miko.
"Yoshida-san...?!!"
Miko was startled at first, then an expression of pleasant surprise appeared on her pale face.
"Hmm?"
"You actually know Yotsuya-san from Class B?"
Yukino, standing nearby, immediately cast a look of surprise.
Miko was quite well-known as a beautiful girl at Sobu High School and had good popularity.
She didn't expect Tenya, a transfer student from Class F who had only started school yesterday, to actually know a popular beautiful girl from another class, and judging by their interaction, they seemed quite familiar?
This made Yukino recall the words Tenya had just said, "As for friends, I still have one or two."
No way?
Made friends on the first day of transferring, and you call this being solitary?
Yukino's face darkened. This embarrassment came way too fast!
Swish!
The moment the skeleton monster's scythe fell, Miko sprang up from her seat, just managing to avoid the bizarre scythe.
"Hmm? You can see us!?"
The skeleton monster got angry and immediately entered a berserk state.
"!!!"
Miko instantly turned pale. She immediately scrambled and crawled, and rushed like a sprint into Tenya's arms.
"Yoshida-san... help, help!!"
She gazed at him with teary eyes.
"Don't worry, Yotsuya-san, you're safe now."
Tenya gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingers.
"Wow! This girl is super brave!!"
"Young people nowadays are really bold."
"Perhaps, this is youth..."
Seeing this sudden scene, the passengers immediately started discussing it animatedly.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Miko throwing herself into Tenya's arms in broad daylight was undoubtedly a sign that she was smitten with him.
'What exactly did he do to Yotsuya-san?' Yukino was full of astonishment.
Miko is usually a calm, composed, and exceptionally courageous high school girl.
Last school year, a senior from the martial arts club unilaterally organized a grand confession ceremony for Miko. On the surface, it seemed very romantic, but in reality, this senior wanted to use the crowd's cheering to force Miko to agree to date him.
However, Miko was very strong psychologically and did not get swept up by the surrounding atmosphere. She rejected the senior's pursuit in front of everyone.
Being rejected in front of everyone, the senior broke down, left a few harsh words, and then slunk away.
After this incident, Miko gained the title of "Heroine Among Girls" at Sobu High School.
Yukino also greatly admired Miko. She found it hard to imagine what could have happened to such a heroine among girls to make her so panicked and weak.
She couldn't possibly have seen a ghost, right?
Therefore, there is only one truth!
Yukino stared intensely at Tenya with icy eyes.
She quickly concocted a plot involving romantic entanglement between a man and a woman.
"Yoshida! You scumbag!!"
"Huh?"
Seeing the looks of disgust, contempt, and indignation cast by Yukino, Tenya just felt bewildered.
"Yukinoshita-san, how can you just curse others casually?" Tenya frowned.
"Yoshida-san! Don't... don't mind these..."
"That thing is coming over!!"
Miko grabbed Tenya's arm anxiously.
Those bizarre monsters are right in front of you, and you still have the mood to chat with other girls?
"Yotsuya-san, what are you talking about?"
Yukino looked in the direction Miko was pointing, which was the front of the bus. There was nothing there.
However, there seemed to be an inexplicable chill. Was the air conditioning on the bus too cold?
Yukino couldn't detect anything unusual at all.
"You saw us!"
