- Yes, this is the store I've been looking for!

Upon seeing this store, Suiso instinctively knew that this was the right one.

She excitedly wanted to rush over, but at the same time, she held back her excitement.

Suiso remembered Yuki, who helped her cover up at school.

- What should I do?

After searching for a long time to find this cafe, Suiso didn't want to give up easily. However, on the other hand, she was very worried about Yuki's situation. Yuki, who had always been a good and obedient student, if her involvement in skipping class was exposed, then...

- Anyway, the store is right here, it can't escape.

Suiso convinced herself, gritted her teeth, and turned back to school.

Although she found reasons to convince herself, in reality, reasons didn't matter to her.

Probably, for Suiso, there was nothing more important than Yuki.

It was still class time for students at school.

Yuki anxiously waited for Suiso in the classroom, while in Dongxian Middle School, Ziong MingDe was a bit impatient.

It was the time for club activities, and the flow of students in the campus was strong. Since Uesugi Yui, the club president, had taken the lead, Ziong MingDe was now in the slightly chaotic crowd.

And in this murky crowd, Ziong MingDe noticed that someone was trailing behind him.

The follower was Ito Tomono.

Ziong MingDe could roughly guess her intentions, and that was why it bothered him.

- Let's make a quick decision.

After making a decision, Ziong MingDe deliberately walked towards the empty warehouse, then stood still and waited for Ito Tomono to show up.

"Good afternoon, Zhang MingDe."

Almost at the same time Ziong MingDe stopped, Ito Tomono appeared.

Just like last time, Ito Tomono once again wore the Dongxian Middle School uniform.

"Good afternoon, Ito Tomono. What has brought you here so eagerly?"

Knowing in advance, Ziong MingDe didn't show any surprise. Similarly, when Ito Tomono noticed that Ziong MingDe deliberately walked in a secluded direction, she also understood that she had been discovered.

"Regarding... the transfer of personalities, I would like to confirm the results with you."

Unusually, shortly after the conversation began, Ito Tomono adopted a low posture. Anyone could see that she was not here to discuss or consult, but to seek Ziong MingDe's reply.

And Ziong MingDe, as the person involved, understood the situation better than anyone else.

"I think I made it very clear last time."

If it were Ziongzong, he would probably feel guilty and uneasy about showing weakness to others, and thus soften his approach.

But not Ziong MingDe.

His tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Yes, but I just... I just want to... confirm it again..."

Ito Tomono's voice trembled to the point of pleading.

"Is that so? Then let me make it clear to you once again."

Ziong MingDe took a step closer to Ito Tomono.

"No matter whether it is out of guilt or remorse towards 'Ziongzong', or for any other reason, 'Ziongzong' is just a personality, a tool that I have used. I have no intention of using it again, and I cannot risk my life for a mere tool."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

With a cold and stern gaze from top to bottom, after venting his efforts, all that remained was impatience.
