"Did you see the news about the Kyoto Incident?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked softly:
"I just saw it."
Miss Mitsui let out a breath and said quietly:
"Once something happens for the first time, there's bound to be a second, a third, and countless more. After the Kyoto Incident, more events like it are sure to happen in the future... It won't take many before human society collapses."
"Natsuki-kun... will our world be destroyed by a Catastrophe of Supernatural Stories someday soon, just like the Parallel world?"
Her voice grew especially lost and vulnerable as she reached the end of her question.
Amamiya Natsuki had no answer.
In the face of a Calamity of Doomsday, an individual's strength seemed utterly insignificant and weak.
Even though Amamiya Natsuki was now one of the strongest players, he had no confidence that he could put an end to the Calamity of Doomsday.
The frequency and number of supernatural beings and other horrors invading the world were still clearly increasing, while humanity remained helpless. They didn't even know the truth behind the Calamity of Doomsday that had erupted in the neighboring Parallel world... There was no doubt that the world was inching toward collapse.
The elevator soon reached the designated floor.
Miss Mitsui took a deep breath, raised a hand to pat her cheeks, and managed a faint smile as she looked at Amamiya Natsuki.
"Natsuki-kun, I still have a lot to take care of, so I'll be going now."
Amamiya Natsuki gave a slight nod.
"Go ahead."
As one of the people in charge of the Management Bureau, Miss Mitsui would surely be busy as a spinning top from now on, with no time to rest.
Amamiya Natsuki went to the medical examination area and quietly waited.
Before long, Kaguya, Chika, and Ryuzaki Mom
