Chapter 112: Shiina Hiyori!

Since borrowing books from the library did not cost any points, many students enjoyed checking them out.

This often led to someone finishing the first volume of a book, only to discover that another student had borrowed the second.

It gave the same frustrating feeling as reaching the middle of a novel only for the author to suddenly stop updating.

"Mm..."

While Yuto was examining the mystery novels on the shelves, he heard a troubled female voice.

He looked in the direction it came from.

Yuto saw a silver-haired girl standing on her toes.

She stretched her arm as far as she could, trying to return a book to a shelf higher than she was.

But because she was not tall enough, she could not return it no matter how hard she tried.

Yuto unexpectedly noticed that the book she was holding was the second volume of Higashino Keigo's Journey Under the Midnight Sun.

It was exactly the book he had come to find.

So Yuto walked toward the silver-haired girl.

Shiina Hiyori stood on her toes, trying to return the mystery novel she had finished.

But if she could not reach it, she could not reach it.

Standing any higher would not help.

'I suppose I'll have to find a stool.'

The moment Hiyori relaxed, the book slipped from her hand and fell straight toward her head.

"!"

Startled, Hiyori instinctively closed her eyes and ducked her head.

She knew the falling book was about to hit her.

But just as she braced herself, someone suddenly pulled her arm.

Her body fell into a warm embrace.

The book struck the floor with a thud, and a boy's concerned voice reached her ears.

"Are you all right?"

His voice was steady and deep, carrying a calm warmth that eased Hiyori's heart.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Hiyori opened her eyes and raised her head, finally seeing the boy's face.

He had a strikingly handsome face and bright, clear eyes.

"Ah, it's you," Hiyori exclaimed softly.

She recognized the boy who had pulled her out of danger.

Wasn't he Shimizu Yuto, the student who had taught Ryuen Kakeru a harsh lesson?

Yuto also looked surprised when he recognized the girl before him.

"It's you."

Yuto remembered Hiyori from Class C quite clearly.

When he had beaten Ryuen, every Class C student had looked at him with fear.

Only this gentle silver-haired girl had not.

She had stood out like a ray of silver light in a dark sea, drawing Yuto's attention.

Yuto released Hiyori, then bent down and picked up the second volume of Journey Under the Midnight Sun.

"Hello, Shimizu-kun. I'm Shiina Hiyori from Class 1-C."
