Chiba Club Members Encounter the King of Curses-and Can't Beat Him Even at Full Strength.

The school stipulates that every promotion involves a reorganization, with some people leaving and some staying.

This separation shouldn't be underestimated. Many couples in different classes have drifted apart and experienced conflicts because of class separation, which is why such legends exist.

Seven out of ten high school couples break up within a year; if you include those who break up after graduation, it's almost a total failure.

As the saying goes, those who are near the water get the first glimpse of the moon.

All of this illustrates the importance of distance.

[If we can be placed in the same class!]

At this moment, many girls were filled with anticipation, and some were even preparing to use their own methods.

"Knock knock knock..."

Shinomiya Kaguya arrived at the head of student affairs' office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in... Young Lady, what brings you here?"

The head of student affairs was a woman in her forties, wearing square-framed glasses and appearing meticulous.

She had already heard about the outcome of the upheaval in the Shinomiya Family, and naturally took this de facto heir of the Shinomiya Family even more seriously.

"Ahem, I need to talk to you."

Shinomiya Kaguya coughed twice, her face turning even redder, and her eyes flickered as she spoke.

"Please give me your instructions, if it is within my power."

The head of academic affairs expressed his loyalty.

"Were you the one arranging the class change for second grade?"

"No, we usually use a computer to randomly assign the results, because that's fairer..."

"I said, were you the one who made these arrangements?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice deepened, her gaze fixed straight ahead, her wine-red eyes like an unfathomable abyss.

"I can arrange it."

The head of the teaching department immediately became serious.

"May I ask who you would like to accompany you, Young Lady?"

Do I really have to say it out loud?

"No need, no need... The only one worthy of the Young Lady is that man."

"Alright, I'll leave everything to you. Just remember not to tell anyone about this."

As she left, the corners of the girl's mouth noticeably turned up slightly.

"Thud."

After the door closed, the head of student affairs took out a tissue and wiped his sweat.

It actually put so much pressure on her...

This Young Lady from the Shinomiya Family has truly become quite accomplished!

Back in her seat, she logged onto her computer to prepare for class assignments.

Suddenly, the knocking sounded again.

"Hello, Head of Student Affairs, I'm Sawamura Spencer Eriri..."

The Blonde Haired Girl with twin ponytails displayed the demeanor of Young Lady from a wealthy family.

"I've heard of the Sawamura family, so, Miss Sawamura, is there something you need from me?"

She had a vague premonition.

"Regarding the class assignments, Izumi and I are Childhood Friend, and he's always taken care of me... So, I hope we can be in the same class, okay? Consider it a favor I owe you."

"Uh, in principle it's not possible, but since it's Miss Sawamura's request, I'll do my best to fulfill it."

Thank you so much.

The head of the teaching department was undoubtedly persuaded.

After all, it was just a trivial matter of abusing power for personal gain, and it was nothing compared to the favors bestowed upon Miss Sawamura.

"Knock knock knock..."

She returned to her seat, but before she could even settle in, more people arrived.

"Ugh... it can't be that Hasegawa again, can it? Overtime is so annoying."

The head of student affairs sighed, unable to vent her anger, because Shuchiin was full of children of powerful and wealthy families, and she, an employee, couldn't afford to offend anyone.

"I am Natsukawa Masuzu, and I've come to see you today because..."

Upon opening the door, a smiling, silver-haired beauty appeared before me.

The club activity has ended.

The departing students walked out of the school gate, glanced back at the school, and looked on with a hint of melancholy.

"Next time we come, we'll be in second grade."

Nibuya Morika sighed with emotion.

"A lot has really happened this past year."

Takanashi Rikka thought back for a moment.

"Hmph, after school starts, Dekumori won't have to run back and forth anymore."

Dekomori Sanae said happily.

"Club President, I hope we can be in the same class in second grade. I believe in Club President destiny!"

Natsukawa Masuzu raised her little fist like an energetic girl.

Hasegawa Izumi simply smiled knowingly.

"Everything is a choice Steins;Gate."

Chapter 48: Chiba's group members encounter the King of Curses, but cannot defeat him despite their best efforts.

A warm spring breeze blows, all things revive, and everywhere is filled with the vibrant scent of life.

Due to the changes in the heavens, all things in this world are nourished by spiritual energy and are undergoing silent transformations.

Of course, for most things, spiritual power is still something that cannot be seen or touched, and one can only passively benefit from it. Only those beings with full spirituality can clearly sense it.

Those Awakened One are among them.

"Whoosh..."

Yukinoshita Yukino opened the window, closed her eyes, and quietly felt the warm sunlight. Her long, ink-black hair was full of luster and shone brightly in the light.

The coldness in the Girlish Heart was gradually replaced by warmth, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Her brows relaxed, and the suffocating feeling of coldness throughout her body subsided considerably.

Sunbathing is a way to harmonize yin and yang, which is very important for awakened Awakened One like her.

This was also a reminder from that person.

"What happened during this period feels like a dream."

Her gaze was fixed blankly as she murmured to herself.

After becoming a member of the Far East Magic Society, she returned to her high school, Soubu High School, to continue maintaining the 'Service Club' and pursue her ideals.

During this time, as someone with Ability User, she encountered several Supernatural event and even teamed up with the Kuroneko... It must be said that although this kind of life increased the risks, it was indeed much more meaningful than her previous daily routine.

To change the world, start by improving yourself!

That person is right; only the invincible strong can freely exercise their own will.

Words alone are indeed insufficient for mutual understanding.

With her eyes closed, Yukinoshita Yukino recalled the ugly faces of humans and demons she had witnessed, which strengthened her resolve to uphold the beliefs that person had conveyed to her.

"Beep..."

Suddenly the phone rang.

"Kuroneko, is something wrong?"

She turned around, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and her tone hardened.

Due to their personalities, Yukinoshita and Gokou Ruri didn't get along very well. Although they fought side by side, their relationship was more like that of colleagues, and they didn't communicate much.

Therefore, the two sides only meet when something difficult happens.

"Well, last week I unexpectedly discovered a group of monsters that look like 'mummies' in the wilderness. After several investigations, I found that these mummies are actually human beings beneath their surface. They live normal lives like ordinary people during the day, but turn into mummies at night and gather together... If I'm not mistaken, there must be a source controlling these mummies. The level of danger is unknown, and one person alone might not be able to handle it."

Gokou Ruri slowly explained, her tone becoming serious.

Do you need my cooperation in this investigation?

Yukinoshita Yukino understood.

"Yes, let's meet at our usual spot tonight."

"Good."

That night, Yukinoshita Yukino and Gokou Ruri disguised themselves and met in a park.

They don't have the ability to disguise themselves, but by utilizing the characteristics of their own spiritual power, they can change their aura and distinguish themselves from their ordinary state. Unless one has special skills or knows someone well, it is difficult to tell them apart.

In this way, even if they are accidentally exposed to the public eye, it will not have much impact on their daily lives.

As night deepened, the two headed towards the outskirts of Chiba, where the population suddenly thinned out, and even the density of streetlights decreased.

At times like these, usually no one will pass by.

However, one bus stopped at the intersection during its rest period.

"Is that them? They look no different from ordinary people."

"The number is significantly higher this time than last week. Could it be that it has begun to expand dramatically?"

In the shadows behind two trees, two different pairs of eyes stared at the crowd getting off the car.

After walking only a few steps, strange changes occurred to them. Bandages suddenly emerged from various corners of their bodies, binding them like mummies, and they stumbled and staggered into the mountains.

"I've wanted to continue investigating several times, but I always had a bad feeling. This time, the two of us can go and see for ourselves."

Gokou Ruri said cautiously.

"Yes, if there are two of them, they can support each other."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded calmly.

Having both experienced the harsh realities of life, the two had no reservations about collaborating.

"I'll use my abilities to track them down now."

As Gokou Ruri spoke, Yukinoshita offered no resistance, allowing the shadow beneath her to engulf their figures.

In the mountains and fields, the moonlight shines.

Dozens of mummies staggered into the depths of the dense forest. In this large clearing, there was no sound other than their footsteps, making the scene seem extremely eerie.

Behind the mummies, a shadowy mass, barely perceptible, drifted by like a cloud, yet nothing could be found to correspond to it, making it all the more eerie.

This is a recently developed use of 'Shadow Power' by Gokou Ruri, which allows her to merge herself and anything she comes into contact with into shadows, thus disappearing into a wondrous space.

However, this tactic is not invincible. Anyone with even a slightly higher level of Spirit Vision can easily detect it if they pay close attention. Furthermore, once attacked by spiritual energy, this fragile space will shatter, squeezing the people inside out.

About half an hour passed just like that.

The duo followed the mummy deep into the mountains and forests, eventually arriving at a deep, dark cave.

"It seems this is where the mastermind is located."

Gokou Ruri thought to herself, and continued to follow up.

Soon, the crowd reached the end of the cave.
