偷偷狠狠的日日

After Tenku jumped from the school rooftop, he landed safely on the ground. He used the Qi as a foothold in the air so he wouldn\'t get hurt after falling from that height. If Tenku had been swapped with another student, they would have suffered a broken bone by now.

Tenku returns to his class and helps Noboru and Takaya with their assignments. He wanted to hide inside the haunted house to avoid Kirika. Along the way, Tenku noticed that more and more visitors were coming to the cultural festival at Suisei High School.

He entered the school building stealthily and walked down the corridor while checking his surroundings. Tenku was worried he would accidentally run into Kirika because the place was crowded, with many students and visitors passing by.

As Tenku checked out the students and visitors in the corridor, he suddenly stopped and frowned. He sensed malicious intent from one of the people in the crowd, but it quickly disappeared. It was not directed at him but at the school and everyone in the building.

Tenku quickly released his divine consciousness and scanned the people around him. But he couldn\'t find the source of the malicious intent. Either that person was highly skilled at hiding his presence, or he was beyond the reach of his spiritual senses.

After Tenku managed to train the Spiritual Lord Heart Sutra to the pool stage, his divine consciousness could cover an area of one hundred meters. In other words, that person had left Suisei High School quickly after releasing that malicious intent.

"I feel familiar with that malicious intent. But where have I felt it?" Tenku tried to remember where he had felt that malicious intent before. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn\'t get any clues from his memory.

"It looks like the cultural festival won\'t go on peacefully." Tenku sighed, and his figure disappeared into the crowd of students and visitors in the corridor.

Tenku didn\'t take long to arrive at his classroom, which had been transformed into a haunted house. But he couldn\'t find Noboru and Takaya in that place. Tenku asked the student guarding the entrance, and he said they had their lunch break together.

"I\'m sure they\'ll have lunch at the maid cafe instead of the cafeteria." Tenku muttered. Then he took a smartphone from his pocket and sent a message to Setsuka. He apologizes to her for leaving them suddenly and not being able to accompany Kohana to tour the cultural festival.

Tenku felt guilty for leaving their lunch without any explanation. But he was sure Setsuka would understand after Kirika\'s appearance on the school roof. Setsuka\'s reply came in less than a minute, and the content was just as Tenku had thought.

[You don\'t need to apologize. I understand the reason for your action. You don\'t have to think about that little girl. I\'ve asked Kaede to accompany Kohana back to Suisei Elementary School. Were you okay after jumping off the school rooftop?]

Tenku read her message, and he felt the girl cared about him. Even though Setsuka was sure nothing terrible would happen to Tenku, she couldn\'t help but ask about his condition.

[I\'m fine. Luckily, I fell right on top of the trees. So I only received minor injuries]

Tenku typed his finger on his smartphone and quickly replied. But then he was surprised that Setsuka sent another message to him within a few seconds.

[I\'m grateful. But please don\'t do such dangerous things again. Your actions have worried Kohana, Kaede, and especially me]

Tenku felt bad when he read the message because he had made the siblings and Kaede worry for him.

[I\'m sorry for causing you to worry. I will try not to do that again]

Tenku couldn\'t make empty promises to Setsuka because he would do more dangerous things in the future if he wanted to get stronger quickly. Not long after, he received another reply from Setsuka.

[I understand. But please do it in moderation. That idol went to the cafeteria. Be careful]

Tenku frowned as he read the message. Fortunately, he didn\'t come to the cafeteria looking for Noboru and Takaya. If he did, Tenku might run into Kirika, and his attempts to avoid her on the school rooftop would be futile.

[I will remember your words. Thank You]

"I should hide in the haunted house for a while." Tenku kept his smartphone in his pocket and entered the haunted house. He intends to find the class representative and ask for assignments from her. Tenku decided to spend this cultural festival helping out in the haunted house.

Time quickly passed, and the day had changed. Today is the second and final day of the cultural festival at Suisei High School. Tenku left for school early because he got an assignment from the class representative to guard the entrance of the haunted house.

"Haa..." Tenku sat down at the entrance of the haunted house and sighed. He felt today\'s culture festival wouldn\'t go well because something terrible would happen, be it because of Kirika or the person who released malicious intent yesterday.

Tenku was sitting alone because the other students from class C had put on their ghost costumes and prepared inside the haunted house to scare off the visitors.

Noboru and Takaya didn\'t get any assignments today. Tenku replaces Takaya to guard the entrance, and the other students from Class C become ghosts at Noboru\'s place. The two of them intended to visit all events like Tenku did yesterday. Of course, maid cafes were their top priority.

Tenku felt bored because he just stayed in that place alone. The atmosphere at the cultural festival was still quiet because not many visitors came to Suisei High School. So the people who entered the haunted house now were students from other classes.

Fortunately, Tenku only replaced Takaya\'s duties until lunchtime. After that, he could sell crispy tofu again at the snack booth in the schoolyard.

The time had turned to noon in the blink of an eye, and the crowd had filled Suisei High School. Tenku could hear Kirika singing on the stage in the schoolyard and thousands of her fans screaming hysterically.

Although Kirika\'s purpose in coming to that place is to investigate Tenku, she still has to fulfill her duty to entertain the students and visitors at the cultural festival. If she broke the contract, the principal would be suspicious of her. It would bring her unnecessary trouble, and her good name might be damaged.

Tenku felt a bit exhausted as he had been releasing his spiritual senses non-stop since morning because he was wary of the malicious intent he sensed yesterday. When he was busy checking the surroundings and receiving visitors at the haunted house, he heard footsteps approaching him.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

"Ooh... So the seller of crispy tofu has become the guardian of the entrance at the haunted house." A male student sneered.

Tenku turned his eyes toward the source of the sound. He saw four students come to his haunted house. Two are women, and the rest are men. They are Akio, Asuka, and his two childhood friends, Daichi and Micihiko. The one who spoke earlier was Daichi.

He only looked at the four people briefly and then ignored them. Tenku knew that he would gain nothing by responding to them. So he better shut up and focuses on his task.

"Are you deaf? I\'m talking to you!?" Daichi is annoyed that Tenku is ignoring him.

"What do you want? If you want to visit the haunted house, you can go inside after you write your name in the visitor\'s book. But if you want to cause trouble in this place, I will contact the student council or the disciplinary committee to take action against you." Tenku said calmly.

"Don\'t be arrogant! Do you think you are above the other first-year students just because senior Fuyushima wants to serve you at the maid cafe in her class? You have to remember that he only pities you! What a cunning trick! You used a little girl to attract the attention of the student council president. As expected of the weakest student in the school!" Akio stood in front of Tenku and said coldly.

On the first day of the culture festival, Akio focuses on his role as a hero in the theater play of class 1-A. But after the event, Akio heard that Setsuka had personally served Tenku as a maid. It made him very jealous.

After that, Akio searched for information about it and found Tenku had come to the maid cafe with a little girl. He quickly concluded that Tenku was using a little girl to get Setsuka\'s attention, which made him very angry.

On the other hand, Tenku raised his eyebrows when he heard his words. He finally understood why Akio and the others suddenly came to the haunted house. They didn\'t accidentally pass by that place but purposely wanted to meet Tenku.

(As I thought, pretty girls will only bring trouble. But why did he say I used a little girl to get Setsuka\'s attention? Is that a conclusion in itself? Is someone deliberately pitting us against one another? I don\'t know. But I must prevent them from making a scene before the haunted house. If that happens, then there will be no visitors who want to come to this place)

Tenku sighed and wanted to reply to Akio\'s words. But he heard a girl\'s voice before he could open his mouth.

"What are you doing here?" The one who spoke was Akina. She appeared wearing a maid uniform but slightly different from Setsuka\'s. Akina didn\'t come alone because Noboru and Takaya accompanied her.

"Do you intend to cause a ruckus in the haunted house?" Takaya said angrily, and his eyes stopped on Asuka. He snorted coldly at her and then looked at Akio.

If Akio wants to cause trouble in their haunted house, Takaya won\'t be afraid to fight him even though his opponent is much stronger.

"If you have come to try out the haunted house of our class, then we will gladly welcome you. But I would report this matter to the school if you were here to cause a scene." Nobor added.

Akio\'s face sank when he heard that. He was angry after hearing their threats but couldn\'t do anything in that place. If the principal found out he was making a fuss at the cultural festival, he would receive severe punishment from the school and the Holy Union.

Akio came to that place to warn and threaten Tenku so he would no longer try to get close to Setsuka. But he didn\'t expect that it would be the other way around. Akio looks at Tenku hatefully and quickly leaves the haunted house.

"Tch! You\'re lucky again this time! But it does not last forever!" Daichi clicked his tongue and followed Akio from behind. Michiko and Asuka also left the place, but the latter glanced at Tenku before she took a step.

Tenku didn\'t care about that girl and returned to his work. But he suddenly stood up from his seat and frowned. He was looking in a specific direction from the school grounds. Takaya and the others are confused by Tenku\'s behavior, but they finally understand what has happened after hearing a voice echo in the sky above Suisei High School.

"Summons!"

Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
