Humanity Has Its Limits... So I'm Done Being Human! (Continued)

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Natsukawa Ryoji was also stunned, nodding like a pecking grain of rice.

"Mana."

Natsukawa Masuzu called out softly, then smiled and said to him.

"Club President, let's go."

The three of them left gracefully under everyone's watchful eyes, leaving behind a messy conference room.

"Xiao Liang, thank you."

When no one was around, Natsukawa Mana couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.

"I can help you for a while, but not forever, you know that?"

Natsukawa Masuzu said softly.

"I know."

Natsukawa Mana nodded emphatically.

"So, from now on, you'll have to rely on yourself. I only helped you this time because of our past friendship, but I don't have much sympathy for you."

"I'm already very happy that you can help me, Xiao Liang."

As they talked, the three of them walked out of the office building and came to an intersection.

"Club President, could you leave us alone now?"

Just as the green light was about to turn on, Natsukawa Masuzu suddenly spoke.

"Okay, I'll wait for you up ahead."

Hasegawa Izumi's figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Natsukawa Mana realized what was about to happen, and put her right hand on her chest, becoming tense.

Only then did she look up at the sky and speak to herself.

"Mana, human abilities have their limits. I've learned one thing from this short life: the more cunning a person is, the more easily they fall into unexpected predicaments and lose everything, unless they transcend humanity... So I'm no longer human! Now I'm just Greedy Witch, a member of the Far East Magic Society ... Sayonara, Mana."

Before leaving, Natsukawa Masuzu patted the girl on the shoulder and their figures passed each other.

"I see... Good luck, Xiao Liang."

The girl kept her head down, and as her sister was about to leave, she shouted loudly and waved her hand.

Is it just my imagination?

She could vaguely see the smile on her sister's lips from a distance.

After her sister completely disappeared, tears suddenly streamed down the girl's face. She rubbed her eyes and muttered something under her breath.

"You jerk, don't try to fool me with lines from comics!"

"Club President, where are you!"

After saying goodbye to her Little Sister, Natsukawa Masuzu went to the street ahead, but couldn't find him, so she called out loudly.

"Hmph, Club President, if you don't come out, I'll go back and teach Kōko some interesting and fun facts..."

"What knowledge?"

A familiar voice echoed in my mind.

"Club President, do you want to know? Of course, it's what my brother with Sister Complex sister complex likes... um."

Just as she was about to continue speaking, she found her mouth suddenly covered by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

I'm on this side of the park.

Upon hearing "knowledge," she pouted and ran over.

At that moment, Hasegawa Izumi was sitting on a bench, holding an opened can of cola in her hand.

"M Liang. Looks like I've been too lenient with you. I'll mute you for five minutes today."

"Waaah..."

Natsukawa Masuzu tried to speak, her face flushed, but she still couldn't solve the problem. She stomped her foot, cursed inwardly, and then kicked the vending machine next to her, causing a can of cola to roll out.

She picked up her Coke, sat down on the bench, and sulked to herself.

Five minutes passed.

"Club President! Are you trying to suffocate me?!"

"Can't you still breathe?"

"Snort!"

Just moments ago, the Silver-haired Witch was menacing and aggressive, but now she puffed out her cheeks like an angry, spoiled girlfriend, looking like an adorable punching bag.

Even if you play the victim, I won't comfort you.

He said calmly.

"I'm really pathetic, Club President. Look at me. My mom abandoned me, my dad broke off all ties with me, and even my half- Little Sister hates me..."

Natsukawa Masuzu clung to his arm and began to act coquettishly.

"That does sound pitiful... but for you, it's all in the past now, isn't it?"

Hasegawa Izumi turned his head, his clear eyes fixed on her.

"Yes, it's all in the past."

Natsukawa Masuzu released his teasing hand, a smile spreading across his face. He placed his hands on either side and looked up as he spoke.

"That makes things much easier."

"Now, Club President, from this moment on, I am about to begin the next chapter of my life..."

She turned her head to the side, brushing aside the soft silver hair beside her ear, her eyes alluring.

"Oh? Congratulations, M Liang, you finally..."

Hasegawa Izumi understands that the Girlish Heart conflict has been resolved, and sends her her blessings.

Just then, Natsukawa Masuzu leaned close to his ear, his voice carrying a certain magnetism.

"Club President, I don't hate being in love anymore."

Half an hour later.

Hasegawa Izumi returned home and sat with Kōko watching anime.

The scene from just now involuntarily flashed back into my mind...

Then, he chuckled and shook his head.

Kōko looked up and asked.

"My other half, are you thinking of something happy?"

Perhaps.

Afterwards.

News of the changes at the Natsukawa Group reached the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau.

"Natsukawa Masuzu, Natsukawa Ryoji's daughter, her ability is to summon an invisible being? She also seems to possess extraordinary combat power... Is there any more detailed information?"

After finishing reading the documents in her hand, Jinguji Ayame turned around and asked a question.

"There is none left."

The intelligence officer shook his head.

"Yeah?"

A thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"The Natsukawa Family, what a pity..."

"Also, this Far East Magic Society is quite interesting. Apart from Natsukawa Masuzu, the others might not be easy to deal with either... Could it be that their club's mission is actually quite serious?"

"No, how could that be? So many Ability User have gathered here since so long ago..."

Thinking this way, she doubted herself and put the document down.

"Speaking of which, the rumors about Kisaragi Station have disappeared. What happened?"

After thinking for a moment, she turned and picked up the phone again to give the instructions.

"Next, continue tracking down those Urban Legend. We must continue to suppress them. Even if we can't wear them down completely, we must weaken them to the point where they can't harm anyone."

"Yes."

I went home the following afternoon.

Dusk came earlier than usual today.

At this time, as darkness falls and yin and yang alternate, it is easy to encounter disasters or demons; this is known as the Demon Hour.

When Hasegawa Izumi was taking the train home, she also happened to run into one.

Perhaps she was attracted by his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament?

"Excuse me, can I sit here, sir?"

"Hey bro, I ran away from home, can I stay at your place for the night?"

"Hey bro, look at me..."

A beautiful woman, eight feet tall and dressed in white mourning clothes, sat beside him and spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Its voice possessed a certain Magic Power that affected those who heard it, and the few passengers around cast mesmerizing glances at it.

This is one of the Yaochika-sama's abilities: the ability to control the prey's mind, memory, and mental attacks.

But to be honest, judging from its appearance and its special attributes, it could charm everyone around it even without using its abilities.

However, he has never liked reading stories about "small horses pulling big carts," and Kashiwagi Eri has not written anything on this subject, so he is not interested in it, especially since the urban legend has a setting of "imitating the voice of the person's relatives to make the person lower their guard."

He didn't want to hear this Yokai imitating Kōko's voice, so he closed the novel he was reading, stood up, and said, "You audacious monster, I can tell you're not human at first glance!"

The Yaochika-sama was stunned for a moment, then let out a strange, enigmatic 'Popopo' laugh, completely unaware of the danger.

Hasegawa Izumi indifferently raised her hand, and the swastika spell descended.

"Don't want...!"

It was too late when it let out a sharp cry and realized the terror of the person in front of it.

Then, the Yaochika-sama was sealed inside the swastika symbol.

"You happen to have the 'immortality' trait, which is perfect for you to use as a sparring partner for them."

With that thought in mind, Hasegawa Izumi closed her palms.

What just happened?

"How did I end up sleeping!"

"Strange... it seems like I've forgotten something."

Those around them then seemed to wake from a dream.

Soon, the tram arrived at the station.

As he walked out of the station, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Hasegawa-kun, it's been a long time."

"I've had a lot to say to you lately."
