Chapter 108

That's why she chose to compromise before.

But now, she doesn't want to give in anymore.

Because that person taught her another way.

"Please tell him for me that he can take back everything else he gave me, but he absolutely cannot touch this. Otherwise, I'll make him regret it in the future..."

"You mean, you really intend to fight against the Natsukawa Family? It's simply... impossible to win! Even with my older brother and the others joining the fight, it's the same!"

Mana shook her head and said.

"Oh."

Natsukawa Masuzu her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows and chuckled softly.

"Thud."

She closed the door, walked past Mana, and after walking three meters forward, glanced at him sideways and left with her last words.

"Can't win at all? I don't understand!"

You stupid little Little Sister, and the Natsukawa Family, you have no idea what you're really facing!

7 Mysterious Phenomenon Appear!?

"Damn it! Did she really say that?"

"Um..."

"What audacity! Who gave her the courage? Just some ignorant brat?"

Mana dialed her father's number and relayed what her sister had just said, which, unsurprisingly, enraged her father.

Ten seconds later.

"So, what are you going to do next, Dad?"

Mana tried asking.

"How to do it? Hmph... then let's do as she says. I want to see just how far this rebellious daughter can go."

After a long while, a reply came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Liang, why did you do that?"

After hanging up the phone, Mana looked puzzled and muttered something under her breath.

Shimokitazawa, located in Setagaya Ward, includes the administrative areas of Kitazawa and Daisawa, and is often abbreviated as Shimokitazawa. It is a hub for secondhand shops, comparable to Akihabara.

The street is lined with fashion boutiques, secondhand clothing stores, and everyday goods shops, offering a wide variety of trendy and unique items worth exploring. It's a great place for a stroll and shopping.

This area boasts elegant cafes and bars, as well as many long-established Japanese pubs and popular restaurants, creating a unique streetscape.

"Arrive."

Hasegawa Izumi exited Shimokitazawa Station and waited at an intersection near the shopping district.

Before long, the members of the organization appeared one by one.

"Sage, I have come."

"Lord Sage!"

The first to arrive were Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae, who often travel together; they had met up beforehand.

The two girls were wearing the same Magic Formal Wear they had seen before, so they didn't seem out of place in this area where subcultures were prevalent.

Not long after, Nibuya Morika, dressed in Cool Summer Outfit, also arrived at the scene.

"We're just missing that guy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a Silver-haired Beautiful Girl wearing Straw Hat gracefully approaching from not far away. She wore a Light Blue Dress that revealed her snow-white shoulders and delicate collarbones, and she immediately caught everyone's eye upon her appearance.

Compared to Dekumori, she is not only beautiful, but her demeanor is also distinctly different.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

Natsukawa Masuzu took off her Straw Hat, a smile playing on her lips, which were painted with Light Pink Lip Gloss and looked very bright in the sunlight.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get down to business."

Without saying much, Hasegawa Izumi clapped her hands and got straight to the point.

They moved a little further away, found a secluded spot, and began practicing close combat.

"Sage, I have arrived!"

As Takanashi Rikka spoke, she rushed forward.

Not only did his punching movements become more skillful, but even his eyes changed.

Hasegawa Izumi had always felt that the girls were just playing house and didn't take the battle seriously at all, which was obviously because they hadn't fought for a long time and had become lax.

After a day of training, I finally started to get back into the swing of things.

"That's great!"

He grinned and readily accepted the challenge.

This continued for about two hours until the girls collapsed on the ground, exhausted and soaked in sweat, which made them very uncomfortable.

And because of all the falls, his body and clothes were covered in dust.

In the past, they would not have been able to endure such torment, but now, they feel a sense of peace and acceptance.

This feeling of constantly growing stronger is simply wonderful!

Let's rest for a while.

After leaving a message, Hasegawa Izumi ran to the vending machine on this side, bought five drinks, and then handed them to everyone one by one.

"Thank you, Club President!"

They expressed their gratitude and then sat down in the shade nearby to drink their beverages.

After resting for a while.

Seeing that everyone was gradually recovering, Hasegawa Izumi spoke again, "Since we've all come out together, how about we organize an off-campus activity? Let's see if any Mysterious Phenomenon are occurring around here."

His suggestion was certainly very attractive to the young girls.

However, they also had some concerns.

Encountering Mysterious Phenomenon can satisfy curiosity, but it may also lead to danger.

After all, they are all vulnerable people now.

"Given the current state of the world, even if you deliberately search for Mysterious Phenomenon, it would be very difficult to find them. And even if you did find them, the danger rating wouldn't be very high. It's perfect for you to practice and familiarize yourselves with this brand new world."

Subsequently, Hasegawa Izumi's remarks dispelled their concerns.

For safety reasons, the girls did not go alone, but in pairs: Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae in one pair, Nibuya Morika and Natsukawa Masuzu in another.

"After discovering the Mysterious Phenomenon, we contacted them using our mobile phones."

He offered a final reminder.

"And you, Club President?"

Natsukawa Masuzu asked the question on behalf of the others.

"Me? I have my own things to do, that's not your concern."

He answered without changing his expression.

"Huh?"

Natsukawa Masuzu let out a soft "hmm," scrutinizing his expression.

"It's time to go."

Nibuya Morika reached out and pulled Natsukawa aside.

"Don't just lay your hands on me like that. Do you think we're that close, Mori Summer?"

I'm cursing Natsukawa Masuzu said.

The two headed to the east side of the station.

"Master, let's go over there, Death!"

Dekomori Sanae pointed to the west side of the station.

"Yes, Dekumori, let's continue our unfinished exploration."

Takanashi Rikka hardened, and she no longer appeared as relaxed as usual.

As for Hasegawa Izumi herself, after seeing everyone leave, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she walked towards the shopping street.

It was a rare opportunity for him to get out, so he planned to stroll around the streets for a while and see if there was anything worth buying.

Go deeper into one of the blocks.

"Mori Summer, do you have any ideas? How exactly do we find the Mysterious Phenomenon?"

Natsukawa Masuzu looked around but couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but ask.

"You're asking me this? I don't know either!"

Nibuya Morika spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Aren't you an ancient magician who has existed for thousands of years? Isn't this a piece of cake for you?"

Natsukawa Masuzu withdrew her gaze.

"So you're Stand User? Summon one and let me see."

Nibuya Morika retorted.

After a passionate exchange, the two finally reached a consensus.

Let's just give up!

"Let's just look around."

"It depends on luck."

Whether they find it or not is irrelevant to them anyway.

The other two left the city buildings and came to the sparsely populated river area.

The clear river flows gently, and a row of trees is planted on both sides of the river, adding a touch of green to the city.

Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae walked along the road, as if they were on a country lane.

"That's right, there must be some Mysterious Phenomenon happening here!"

Takanashi Rikka clenched her fists tightly, looking very excited.

Ten minutes later.

"Master, I only see trees and grass, and a few ordinary people. Other than that, there's nothing. There's no death."

After the Dekomori Sanae excitement wore off, Sanae Tokomori's mood immediately cooled down.

"Ultimately, there must be a more reasonable method, right? Relying solely on intuition doesn't seem to work."

"That might be true... but it would be too embarrassing to ask the Sage."

As Takanashi Rikka spoke, she continued her thorough search, her eyes scanning the slanted grass.

And so, a tedious hour passed.

At this point, Hasegawa Izumi, having finished shopping, hadn't found anything that satisfied her, so she simply didn't buy anything and went to a roadside cafe to have coffee and find some fun in the Sea of Electrons.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just as he was enjoying his peace and quiet, he suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the glass window.

He turned his head and saw two girls with their arms crossed over their chests, their expressions different—one questioning, the other disdainful.

"Club President, everyone is diligently carrying out the organized activities, and you're secretly enjoying yourself all by yourself! How outrageous!"

Natsukawa Masuzu sat opposite him, grumbling indignantly.
