Don't want to? No! Want to.

[This station reports that yesterday morning, an Anomaly attack Event occurred in Guangzheng District. Currently, there are no casualties...]

[...]

[Strong Anomalous state reactions were found on the male's body... We urge all citizens to be cautious and avoid going out at night.]

[...]

Another peaceful day under nuclear deterrence.

Besides the usual Anomalous attack reported in the morning news, and the usual... advice to stay indoors at night.

The TV station's wording had changed from "try to" to "must."

Other than that... the "Eye of Insight" cult, described by Kujo Ryuko as swarming like insects and troublesome as a persistent ulcer, still hadn't made a move.

It was like a stone dropped into the sea.

Su Youzi gazed at her own scarlet eyes in the mirror.

Through the mirror, she felt as if she could see another person.

Su Youzi and Soga Toyura were twin sisters.

When they were very, very young... Su Youzi could even feel Soga Toyura's inner thoughts.

As a transmigrator, Su Youzi naturally assumed her Ability was telepathy or some other mind-related power.

And naturally... the thought of wanting to protect Soga Toyura, like one would 'protect a younger sister,' sprouted in her heart.

She had also wondered if she might be the protagonist.

But later... Su Youzi realized that the one standing in the spotlight, drawing everyone's attention, wasn't her.

It was her older sister, Soga Toyura.

The one who needed protection wasn't Soga Toyura, but herself.

Honestly, that wasn't a huge deal.

Su Youzi was genuinely happy for Soga Toyura's strength.

Being a freeloader in the Soga Family and a well-behaved younger sister in front of Soga Toyura wasn't impossible.

But... what she couldn't accept was her own dimness, as if on the verge of annihilation, completely contrasting with Soga Toyura's prominence.

And--

Soga Toyura's heart gradually closing off to her, and her increasingly cold attitude.

Her gaze would flinch away the moment it met Su Youzi's, as if Su Youzi were some walking source of contamination.

That was more unbearable to Su Youzi than any setback.

Ultimately... Su Youzi chose to escape the Soga Family.

She didn't have many ties there anyway.

Her Mother had passed away when she and Soga Toyura were born.

As for her Father... honestly, Su Youzi had only met him a few times.

Her few memories of him were of him trying hard to suppress his anger, lest he take it out on her.

He must have loved Mother dearly.

So... he must have hated her too.

Su Youzi didn't blame him, but... she couldn't like him either.

Blinking, she pushed all the thoughts in her mind away.

Su Youzi put on her trench coat.

Today, the girl was wearing an off-the-shoulder sweater in off-white with a wide lapel.

Unlike Soga Toyura, whose flat figure made even a spaceship sigh, the younger sister, Su Youzi, had a surprisingly good figure.

Su Youzi could completely imagine~ in the training hall.

When she took off her trench coat and the lapel of her sweater slid off her shoulder with her movements, how the little rabbit's ahoge would stiffen up with a boing.

That would surely be amusing.

She had always had such a mischievous nature.

A slight curve of her lips, Su Youzi opened her dorm room door.

And then... she saw an unexpected person.

A woman with a black and red jacket unzipped.

Underneath the jacket was a rather ordinary dark gray top.

However... the hem of the top was too long.

And the hot pants were too short.

It looked as if the woman was only wearing black silk stockings under her top, with beautifully defined legs.

Su Youzi couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Her Scarlet Eyes seemed a little tired, and Kujo Ryuko forced a smile at Su Youzi.

"Good morning, Youzi."

"Good morning, Senior Kujo." Su Youzi respectfully bowed to Kujo Ryuko.

Even though she already knew the woman in front of her, despite her outwardly dominant appearance, was actually a severe masochist.

But... Su Youzi was still meticulous about showing the proper respect to her senior.

This way, she could stabilize Kujo Ryuko's affection points, preventing them from suddenly skyrocketing and triggering a series of dangerous Events, while also slowly planting the idea in Kujo Ryuko's mind that 'Su Youzi is a junior' and 'she's my junior schoolmate.'

Then... when she was bullied by her junior schoolmate, the forbidden desires, Shame, and Humiliation that stirred within the proud woman would blossom into even more vibrant flowers.

"Did you just get back, Senior Kujo?" Su Youzi asked with concern, looking at the undeniable fatigue in Kujo Ryuko's Scarlet Eyes.

"Hurry and take a bath, rest well, and get some sleep."

The cooldown for "nurture" had finished.

Su Youzi had already prepared to let Kujo Ryuko relax her body and mind thoroughly, then get a good night's sleep.

"No need—" Kujo Ryuko shook her head. "I'm just a little tired."

"Youzi..."

"Are you planning to go to the training hall?"

"Perfect, I'll accompany you."

She took a deep look at the girl's soft attire in front of her.

For some reason... Kujo Ryuko suddenly felt a reluctance to let Su Youzi go and guide that Young Lady from the Saotome Family.

Su Youzi didn't refuse.

She simply and silently withdrew her hand from "nurture."

Never mind... she'd let Kujo Ryuko properly relax her body and mind when she returned tonight.

After accumulating for these past few days.

Su Youzi's Ability had successfully broken through to "Level.8 - Reverse Logic Hand." The next breakthrough would require at least another week of accumulation.

She wasn't that desperate for one or two "Combat Records."

What a shame—

No matter how powerful an Operator's Ability was, they could only use one "Combat Record" at a time.

Otherwise... Su Youzi would have liked to let Kujo Ryuko or Teacher Unohana relax properly.

On the way to the training hall, Kujo Ryuko and Su Youzi chatted about their recent discoveries.

Regarding the "Manifest Manufacturing" earphones, the Fourth Action Department had already found some clues.

They believed it wouldn't be long before they located the main base of this "Eye of Insight" cult.

And then there were the various 'accidental' Events happening frequently in the city recently.

Thanks to Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi's inspiration.

On those corpses, in addition to strong Anomalous state reactions, the Fourth Action Department had indeed discovered another commonality—

They were all members of the "Eye of Insight."

In other words...

In this city, there was another group of people, or perhaps another individual, hunting the followers of the "Eye of Insight" cult.

Su Youzi bit her lip lightly.

The answer in her heart grew clearer.

Soon, Su Youzi and Kujo Ryuko arrived at the entrance of the school's training hall.

From afar... Little Rabbit hopped towards Su Youzi with quick steps.

But—

Besides Little Rabbit, another girl's figure made Su Youzi show an expression of great interest.

The black-haired girl nervously twisted her small hands.

She trembled as she bowed deeply to Su Youzi, "You..."

"Elder Sister Yuzu."

—Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi.

"She doesn't want to see that Demon anymore?"

"No!"

"She does."
