Chapter 56: The note passed through the crack in the door read the way out_2

Even though it was just an ordinary conversation, why did Yan Huan reveal such a complex and incomprehensible expression at that time?

The multitude of questions made her want to seek the answers, but she dared not to ask, for fear that doing so would expose the affection in her heart.

This way, she feared it might draw him closer, to scrutinize this person who liked him.

Then, he would find that many of the questions she asked shouldn’t be within her knowledge.

"Why do you know I didn’t go home?"

"Why do you know when I finish my part-time job?"

"Why do you know whom I’ve spoken with in class?"

Because, I am always watching you from the shadows, surveilling you!

That is the unbearable truth that Sakuragi Hitomi cannot voice.

Because she knows her behavior is morally reprehensible; once revealed, it might frighten him, perhaps even completely ostracize her from the world.

If only there were a place that could accept the ugliness inside me, where even if I were to reveal it, everyone would find it normal...

There, I could unreservedly watch him, understand everything about him, boldly share my ignoble desires.

Just like it’s common sense, just as if it’s the rule.

But just when such a thought occurred one day, a voice inside her head suddenly asked,

[Activate Room Barrier?]

Room Barrier?

What is that?

[Barrier Level: 1]

[Effect Description: Once per week, create a Barrier within a designated enclosed area (up to 50 square meters), with a maximum count of 1.]

[Within the Barrier, you will have the following effects:]

[You can set rules that must be followed, and obtain omniscient surveillance capabilities over the area. Simply think it, and you can see the scenes within the Barrier from wherever you are.]

[You can modify common knowledge for the individuals within the area. Only one piece of common knowledge can be added each time. Please note that the common knowledge cannot be something that the individual couldn’t possibly do.]

[Once the effect is generated, anyone leaving the area will completely forget what happened inside the Barrier and their memory will likewise be revised. However, when there is a third person inside the Barrier, they might notice differences from common knowledge.]

[While you are in the opened Barrier, the Barrier Level will gradually increase, expanding the coverage and enhancing the effects.]

Perhaps reading the text, she still couldn’t comprehend what the Barrier truly meant.

But when she first deployed the Barrier in the student council office, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

And since that day, the Barrier in the student council office has never been deactivated.

...

...

"Snap!"

The daydreaming Sakuragi Hitomi was suddenly brought back to reality by the sound of a snapping finger; the illusory text in front of her eyes also dissipated bit by bit.

The disappearing illusory text read:

[Barrier Level: 2]

[Effect Description: Once per week, select a designated enclosed area (up to 75 square meters) to set up the Barrier, with a maximum count of 2.]

She blinked and pulled her attention away from her deep thoughts, looking towards Yan Huan who was wearing a tracksuit next to her,

"Sakuragi, class is almost over, it’s our turn for the duty today."

It was a Monday afternoon elective class, and she and Yan Huan chose the same volleyball course.

At noon, Yan Huan took a stroll around school with Ye Shiyu and didn’t return to the student council office; overcome by drowsiness, he hid in a quiet place for a short nap, then came directly to the gym for class.

Sakuragi Hitomi had very poor physical strength, and would only participate when the teacher was coaching. During free play and team matches, she would find a place to sit down.

But, unlike today, she had never been so lost in thought that she didn’t move for the entire class.

"...Okay, President."

Sakuragi Hitomi blinked, looking at Yan Huan in front of her as if she wanted to ask something, but then quietly got up and nodded.

Inside the gym, many volleyballs had already been put away in the cart.

Yan Huan and Sakuragi Hitomi also needed to remove and pack up the protective nets, then put the cart with volleyballs back in the equipment room together.

"Sakuragi, you didn’t move much today, are you not feeling well?"

"A bit, it’ll be better after this week..."

Following behind Yan Huan, they each began to dismantle one side of the safety net.

This week?

Yan Huan paused in his action, then showed an understanding expression.

He turned his head to look at Sakuragi Hitomi beside him and proactively said,

"Then Sakuragi, you go rest, I can handle this side."

"..."

Sakuragi Hitomi glanced at the smiling Yan Huan, didn’t agree, but continued taking the net down,

"It’s okay, let’s go together."

Actually, it wasn’t her period; she just had a question she wanted to ask Yan Huan.

About that Ye Shiyu.

Usually, there were many girls in the school who paid a lot of attention to Yan Huan, and while watching secretly, Sakuragi Hitomi seemed to have become indifferent to them.

After all, Yan Huan had never shown anything beyond polite behavior to anyone; in other words, it was all courteousness.

But Ye Shiyu was entirely different.

Sakuragi Hitomi had never seen such patience, such gentleness in Yan Huan’s eyes.

When the President suddenly called on Saturday to ask why she liked cats, it must have been for her.

For that expressionless, puppet-like girl?

Even though she herself had been watching the President since last semester, knowing even his life habits like the back of her hand...

Why her?
