Illimitable Until Death Chapter 205

Chapter 205

That evening, Aria stayed in Fang Li’s room.

Fang Li’s room was a luxurious suite, not only with a four-person dorm-style bedroom but also a smaller five-person room, so accommodating one more person wasn’t a problem at all.

However, no matter what, Fang Li was a man, and Aria was so straightforward about staying in his room. It was unclear whether she trusted Fang Li too much or simply lacked caution.

When Fang Li asked Aria about it, she replied nonchalantly, “Well, you’re my partner, so it’s fine.”

Aria seemed to genuinely treat the idea of being partners as being a team, with a tendency to think, “Your things are my things, and my things are still my things.”

In other words, Aria really saw Fang Li’s room as her own.

The next day, Aria even woke up the soundly sleeping Fang Li, claiming that she was hungry, just like a little kid.

Fang Li felt like he was not acting as a partner but more like taking care of a spoiled child.

Although the girl was a bit too cute for her own good.

Because of Aria’s early morning excitement, Fang Li, rarely enough, got up early. He ordered breakfast for two and ate it together with Aria before heading out.

Coincidentally, as Fang Li and Aria were leaving their rooms, they heard the familiar sound of the neighboring room opening, and its resident, Tohyama Kinji, stepped out.

“Eh?” Tohyama Kinji came out of his room and saw Fang Li with Aria, in the middle of a yawn. He froze for a moment.

“Hey there,” Fang Li greeted Tohyama Kinji as usual. “Kinji, why are you up so early today?”

“Because of yesterday’s incident, as one of the victims, I had to go to the student affairs office and provide a statement,” Tohyama Kinji replied reflexively but then seemed to realize something.

Looking at Fang Li and then at Aria, who was staring straight at him, Tohyama Kinji’s expression became somewhat subtle. “You, bringing another girl home while s.h.i.+rayuki is away?”

“So that’s how it is. No wonder you’d react that way. You actually think like that?” Fang Li half-opened his eyes and responded lazily. “I’m not you, my woman-phobia has reached its final stage. Is there anything strange about that?”

“…Although what you said makes sense, I don’t know why, but it still bothers me,” Tohyama Kinji said with a displeased expression. “Anyway, since you saved me yesterday, I’ll keep today’s incident a secret. Don’t say I’m not considerate.”

With that, Tohyama Kinji seemed eager to distance himself from any potential gossip. He yawned again and left without looking back.

Watching Tohyama Kinji gradually leave, Aria, who had been observing him silently, suddenly asked, “Is he the same Tohyama Kinji who was ranked S-Rank Butei with you during your first year?”

“Oh?” Fang Li raised an eyebrow and said, “You know Kinji?”

“I heard about him when I was asking for information about you in the a.s.sault Department,” Aria replied. “They said that, besides Tohyama Kinji, there was no one else in the a.s.sault Department who could be your training partner, so I collected some information about him too.”

“Is that so?” Fang Li asked curiously. “Then why didn’t you choose Kinji as your partner?”

“If you weren’t around, I might have had to choose him,” Aria said nonchalantly. “But since you are here, it’s only natural to eliminate that gloomy guy with woman phobia.”

As soon as Aria finished speaking, Tohyama Kinji, who was about to descend the stairs, let out a loud sneeze. Losing his balance, he stumbled and fell down the stairs amid screams.

…

…

Observing this scene unfold, both Fang Li and Aria were left speechless.

Shortly after, Aria looked at Fang Li with suspicion and asked, “Is that guy really the same one who gained an S-Rank Rating with you during your first year?”

“Well, he’s a bit special, just like Choutei (Super Detective). Sometimes, he exhibits incredible power, but most of the time, he’s no different from an ordinary person,” Fang Li rubbed his nose in annoyance and said, “So, you can think of him as an extraordinary Butei with two modes, the ‘Waste Mode’ and the ‘Hysteria Mode.'”

“Having such an unstable Butei as a partner would be headache-inducing,” Surprisingly, Aria accepted Fang Li’s words and came to that conclusion, being a bit carefree about it.

“If I had chosen someone like that as my partner, I’d probably end up opening a hole in his body every day.”

For some reason, Fang Li had a feeling that this conclusion might actually come true.

“Fortunately, Aria didn’t choose Kinji as her partner.”

Otherwise, being Tohyama Kinji’s neighbor, Fang Li felt like his walls wouldn’t be able to contain all the noise.

For example, gunshots and whatnot.

…

Butei High, 2nd Year, Cla.s.s A.

As Fang Li opened the cla.s.sroom door and entered with Aria, the whole cla.s.s burst into chatter.

“They’re here!”

“The heroes of the bus hijacking incident!”

“They truly deserve to be S-Rank Butei!”

“And they teamed up together!”

“They even came to school together today!”

“Could it be they teamed up during a Mission, so they’re planning to form a team?”

“That would be amazing! Two S-Rank Butei teaming up!”

“They’re definitely one of the strongest teams in the second grade!”

Amidst the noise, the entire 2nd Year, Cla.s.s A turned into a festive atmosphere, becoming extremely lively.

Only Tohyama Kinji remained seated in a corner, looking bored as if nothing was related to him, seemingly deciding to stay out of the commotion.

In this situation, Fang Li and Aria were taken aback.

But before they could react, a pet.i.te figure squeezed out of the crowd.

And this person pretended to look teary-eyed, sniffling as they spoke, “Li Li actually abandoned Riko to find another girl. How could he be so heartless?”

Other than Riko, who else could it be?

Seeing Riko pretending to sob there, Fang Li’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Because it was just too fake.

However, Aria seemed to buy into it, looking a bit fl.u.s.tered as she asked, “Why are you suddenly crying like this?”

At that moment, Fang Li saw it.

As Riko lowered her head and sobbed, a somewhat evil smirk appeared on her face.
