Yuki's expression was a mix of pity and coldness while staring at the sad-looking girl in front of him, and the reason for this is the story that she just told him.

Apparently, after that day inside the coffee shop, the situation inside the Sakurasou Dormitory grew more and more stressful. First The already careless manager Chihiro grew even more careless and she ignored whatever was happening inside as she grew depressed and started to heavily drink and stay late outside which was the reason why she didn't call Yuki anymore nor respond to his calls…

And then there's good old Sorata, Yuki really wanted to punch another hole in this guy's face and maybe give him an enhanced taste of the right hook that sent Chiho to oblivion, maybe he will learn how to talk properly from this new hole.

This is because after Yuki lectured him inside the coffee shop. He didn't try to work out his self-esteem problems at all, instead, he was blinded by his immature emotions and put all of the blame on Mashiro making the situation only grow worse forcing her to distance herself from him since he was acting like a parasite to the point that even the other residents of Sakurasou started to get affected by his negativity.

That's when all hell broke loose as he accused the other residents of acting like that just to side with Mashiro because she was talented just like them, but he never tried to look inside himself, or maybe he did but didn't want to accept his reality… Anyways, according to what Yuki heard from Mashiro, he concluded that the living environment there became toxic and was weighing on her emotionally so she decided to leave.

Not to mention that, now that Sorata was acting like this and she didn't have anyone to depend on to help, she found herself lost, and although another resident of Sakurasou, Misaki Kamiigusa tried to help her. In the end, she couldn't spare too much time for Mashiro because she was busy working on her anime and manga…

And long story short, finding no one else to turn to including her own aunt, Mashiro ended up asking Yuki for help landing them in their current awkward situation…

"That woman Chihiro is really crazy, I tried to call her multiple times yesterday to see what the situation is all about but she didn't answer her phone at all" Said Yuki with an annoyed look on his face and Mashiro simply shook her head and said "She came back late yesterday and she's probably still asleep"

"I see, well, the first thing we need to do is to ask that woman to take proper responsibility for her role as manager and stop messing around…" Said Yuki with a sigh and Mashiro couldn't help but let out a sad face, feeling like she was burdening Yuki and he didn't want her to live with him.

But then he followed it by saying with a smile "If this doesn't work, you are welcome to stay with me as much as you want, I have some good neighbors and they can also help me take care of you if I'm ever absent" Hearing this, Mashiro's face suddenly brightened up and Yuki could feel the negativity that was surrounding her since he arrived here slightly diminish…

"Thank you" Said Mashiro while looking at Yuki's eerie eyes, but she only found comfort in them… If only she noticed how no people has passed in front of them since they sat on this bench as every person who sees Yuki decided to use a different road…

'Oh, that's a good sign' thought Yuki seeing Mashiro regaining some sparkle in her eyes before smiling and said "Let me try to call Chihiro again"

Mashiro nodded at him and Yuki quickly retrieved his phone and called Chihiro's number again…

Inside the Sakurasou dormitory; Chihiro was sitting beside the side of her bed her head aching and having a terrible hangover from yesterday's heavy drinking.

'I should really stop drinking' thought Chihiro as she checked her phone to see what time is it and she saw that it was 10:15 am and she noticed that she had many missed calls and unread messages from the same person, it was Yuki…

"What does this guy want from me? Did he miss me?" muttered Chihiro before she started checking the messages first before calling him, but then she found that they were all about her cousin Mashiro

[Hello Chihiro-san, I called your phone multiple times but I didn't get a response so I can only message you. Hopefully, you will answer me as soon as your read it. Anyway, I received a weird message from Mashiro, weird even by her own standards, so can you tell me if anything problematic happened to her in Sakurasou?] 17 Hours ago

[Chihiro-san, Please don't forget to respond to my message whenever you see it, the situation seems to be very urgent and problematic!] 16 Hours ago

[…. I'm still waiting] 12 Hours ago

"So, he's worried about Mashiro huh? should have guessed it would be so…" Muttered Chihiro before she threw the phone carelessly on the bed and left to wash her face so that she alleviates some of the headaches she was feeling.

While she was doing so, she couldn't help but think about the situation and was debating if she should call Yuki or not but she then shrugged and said "They are just youths with their hormones acting up, the situation will solve itself out by itself…" This was one of the many excuses she tries to convince herself to not bother with what's happening around her and drown in her own problems.

However, Yuki wasn't going to let her off the hook, and just as she finished washing her face, her phone started ringing, and when she picked it up, she saw that the caller was Yuki " This kid is probably in love with Mashiro and want to be a hero and help her, how cute…" muttered Chihiro with a sarcastic look on her face before she once again threw the phone on the bed without answering it and went to make herself a quick breakfast.

If only she knew that her cousin was planning to leave the dorm and if their parents knew that she didn't offer her any help like they were expecting when they allowed her to come here to Japan and be in her care. Chihiro would be in some deep trouble…

Back at the park, after Yuki let the phone ring for a while and seeing that Chihiro was still not going to respond, he finally got really mad at this woman as he stood up and said to Mashiro "Let's go"

Mashiro tilted her head and asked curiously "Where?"

"To where your troubles are…" Said Yuki surprising Mashiro. At first, she didn't want to return to that place, but seeing that Yuki was with her, she suddenly didn't feel as much rejection as earlier… Of course, she won't, the people in trouble are those in Sakurasou!

Sakurasou dormitory was near the Shinjuku area, and it didn't take Mashiro and Yuki a long time to reach it.

As Yuki stood in front of this building that he recognized from the anime, he couldn't help but be reminded again about his current situation being in another world before he quickly snapped out of it and looked at Mashiro and said "Please lead me to Chihiro's room"

Mashiro nodded and was about to do as he said but then she hesitated and said "Please don't be too harsh on her"

Yuki was surprised at how kind-hearted this girl was being when she had every reason and justification not to be and his opinion of her ended up rising even higher! But then he smiled, and it sent a chill down Mashiro's spine as he said "You are nice Mashiro, but you have your way of dealing with things, and I have mine"

For the first time, Mashiro saw Yuki like how the people see him, a depiction of an evil entity that would probably bring a calamity wherever its feet touch…and today, the calamity was striking Sakurasou…

Mashiro was left speechless as Yuki passed by her and entered this dorm, the first thing you see when you enter this place is a reception room that ends in front of a hallway where you could find the stairs that led to the second floor where the girls were staying, and the hallway itself had multiple rooms where the boys stayed and there was a bigger room to the left side of the hallway which was the manager's room. And in front of it were two doors, one of them led to a small shared kitchen and the other led to the men's bathroom. Chihiro's room had a bathroom of her own. While the girls had theirs upstairs.

When Yuki and Mashiro who was following behind him entered, they noticed that Chihiro was sitting at the table and eating her breakfast on her own, and they didn't know if the other residents were there or not. Although Yuki didn't care as his target was this woman.

Chihiro hearing the door opening, raised her head from her food and turned to look at it and she almost dropped her spoon when she saw that the one who entered was none other than Yuki, and the look on his face was filled with bad intentions as he approached her calmly and said "Yo, long time no see"

"H-Hi Yuki-k-kun, what are you here for?" Chihiro stumbled on her words at first from her sheer nervousness, but then she tried to calm herself down …

But Yuki wasn't here to allow her to play dumb with him and directly went to the point and said coldly "Is there anything you want to say?"

Chihiro looked between Yuki and Mashiro before she put her spoon down and said "If you want to be rude and interrupt my meal, at least state your purpose directly, otherwise, don't waste my time"

'Oh, it seems she doesn't mind burning all bridges huh' Thought Yuki as his smile widened before he turned to Mashiro and said "Mashiro, this place is hopeless, and I don't like wasting my time with people that ignore reality. So, go pack your belongings, we will take our leave"

Mashiro nodded at him silently as she shot Chihiro who didn't understand what was going on a disappointed look and went to pack her things. As for Chihiro, she suddenly stood up and said to Yuki "What's going on here?"

But the latter simply stared at her coldly before he said "Oh, we never had much to say, and I'm glad we didn't, I will be back in a while" The last words were directed to Mashiro as Yuki left this dormitory to take a walk until Mashiro finishes packing her things while Chihiro kept yelling after him

"Wait, explain to me what's going on!" Her face was starting to turn red from how agitated she was but Yuki simply muttered to himself "Did someone just talk to me? Or was I hearing things? We will probably never know" and he had an evil smile on his face…

But that's when a guy with dark circles under his eyes came out of his room when he heard the commotion and the moment he saw Yuki, he rushed at him angrily while yelling "It's you! It's all because of you!"

'Oh~' An evil light flashed through Yuki's eyes as he smiled in amusement at the boy rushing to his death...
