Chapter 331

The two turned and went into the living room.

Kasumigaoka Utaha poured two cups of hot tea, specifically for refreshing the mind.

"Thanks."

Takanashi Rikka took the teacup, then suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, isn't the senior student the author of <Love Metronome> Kasishiko?"

"Yes, that's right. Did your junior tell you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression changed slightly.

"Um."

"So, junior, what do you want to say?"

"Why did you design the plot that way for that character who was modeled after a Sage?"

"Allah..."

A teasing sound escaped from her red lips.

"Junior, you saw the ending, could you be a fan of mine too?"

"No!"

"Why would you ask that, Takanashi, do you like your junior?"

Don't change the subject!

The girl's face flushed slightly as she emphasized this.

"To slander the sacred image of Sage and to indulge in unrealistic fantasies..."

"Hmph, write whatever you want. My junior has no objections, so why should you care? You're not my junior's girlfriend."

Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted her accusation with a slightly smug smile.

"This..."

Takanashi Rikka was rendered speechless by the retort and quickly took a sip of tea to calm herself down.

"I won't hold this against you. Although you wrote very well, don't write like that again... This is a warning from the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King."

Is this a declaration of sovereignty?

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips, secretly amused.

Considering that he needed their help, he backed down slightly and stopped teasing them.

"Ha~"

She suddenly yawned and covered her mouth with one hand.

"I felt a bit tired as soon as I got home."

Upon hearing this, Takanashi Rikka realized she was a bit carried away, so she changed the subject.

"Let's get back to the main topic... I've got some ideas about your situation."

"Really?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was suddenly invigorated.

"Something must be absorbing the life force of the people around us. If I'm not mistaken, it's in that direction."

As she spoke, Takanashi Rikka pointed out the window.

Looking out the window at the same scenery as always, Kasumigaoka Utaha fell into deep thought.

Is it foolish to place your hopes on a bunch of immature, delusional people?

Volume 4: Chapter 23 Refreshing Understanding

To verify her idea, Takanashi Rikka decided to follow her intuition and explore in that direction.

"Are you sure you want to come with me? If anything goes wrong, I can't guarantee I can protect you."

As she walked down the stairs, Takanashi Rikka glanced at the people around her.

"Aren't you the second strongest Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King? Can't you even protect an ordinary person?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha followed her train of thought.

Actually, she just wanted to confirm the truth.

"Whatever you want."

Takanashi Rikka, didn't take it seriously.

Just as they turned the corner, a family of three walked towards them, all of them acting strangely, especially the child, who suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

"Jia'er, what's wrong!?"

"Call an ambulance!"

The two parents were extremely worried; one checked the situation, and the other took out his phone.

"Let me see."

Just then, a young girl walked towards them and spoke up.

"What did you say?"

"Little Sister, stop fooling around."

The two parents were naturally not going to easily believe what the unfamiliar child said; they were both surprised and wary.

There's no other way.

Takanashi Rikka sighed, her exposed eye slowly turning to reveal a Three-Tomoe shape, and then she walked over to check on the child's condition.

The two parents froze, as if they had been frozen in place, their eyes losing their sparkle.

This is, of course, the Hypnosis Technique of the Sharingan.

"This is..."

Behind her, Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed this scene and was utterly stunned.

After a brief mental blank, she touched the mature woman's body and, finding that the woman didn't react at all, not even blinking, she finally admitted that what was happening before her eyes was indeed a so-called Supernatural event.

"Takashi... Takanashi-san, what's wrong with them?"

Approaching the girl, he bent down slightly, his expression still somewhat unnatural.

Even as an imaginative light novelist, she felt extremely uncomfortable with this situation.

"It's nothing, I just used... the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King to hypnotize them, so they wouldn't bother me."

Takanashi Rikka continued her investigation with her head down, and quickly ascertained the situation.

"And what about this little girl?"

"Her condition is similar to yours, except she's much weaker, so her condition is worse."

"Then what should we do?"

"It's alright, I'll just transfer some spiritual energy to her, enough to sustain her for a while, that'll be enough for me to solve the problem."

As the girl infused her spiritual energy, the little girl's complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Mother..."

"Dad..."

When the little girl opened her eyes again, she saw her parents, who seemed a bit distracted, and quickly called out to them twice.

What's wrong with me?

The parents blinked, came to their senses, and looked puzzled, but couldn't find anything strange, so they simply put it out of their minds.

At this moment, Takanashi Rikka and Kasumigaoka Utaha had already crossed another street.

"So, you're all Ability User then?"

"Superpowered Ability User? No, we are all powerful individuals from another world, especially Sage, beings unimaginable even among countless worlds."

"Ha, it seems everyone in Shuchiin has been fooled by you."

"It's simply because human beings lack sufficient knowledge."

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip, finding it hard to contain herself.

She was certain that while supernatural powers did exist, this guy was just spouting nonsense. In her experience, if he had possessed such abilities back then, he definitely wouldn't have acted that way.

Only a junior like him could be so outstanding from beginning to end and thus ascend to the position of 'King of Shuchiin'.

However, regardless of the circumstances, now that she knows the truth, as an ordinary person, she naturally loses a lot of confidence in front of these people and has to bow down.

"Everyone looks sickly, and the range of cases covered is quite wide... Perhaps the Supernatural Management Bureau has already intervened."

As Takanashi Rikka walked along, her gaze swept over the faces of passersby, and most of them appeared to be in very poor condition.

For healthy people, it's fine; they're just a little tired. But for someone with a serious illness, it's like the last straw that broke the camel's back, leading to a tragedy.

Such a large-scale incident, even if the organization is short-staffed, must be addressed as a priority.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was already having second thoughts at this point.

After all, in such a Supernatural event, her involvement as an ordinary person would definitely be a hindrance.

However, because of the boastful words I had made before, I felt embarrassed to say them aloud.

"Stop for a moment."

The girl in front suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong."

Kasumigaoka Utaha inquired.

"After arriving here, the feelings I had before suddenly became much stronger."

As Takanashi Rikka answered, she activated her Spirit Eyes once more.

At this moment, she finally caught a trace of Demonic Energy, which was filling the surroundings and spreading outwards.

"You should go back now; if you go any further, you'll probably be heading to the battlefield."

"Huh!?"

"You're not really planning to fight alongside me, are you?"

"Okay... I understand."

Faced with such disdainful words, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally lacked the confidence to retort and could only let the girl leave before her eyes and disappear at the end of the slope.

"What should we do? Should we go back? Or...?"

Her eyes flickered, her expression shifting between light and shadow.

"Never mind, I should tell my junior about what happened here. It would be troublesome if something went wrong, after all, she's just a child."

Worried that the girl wouldn't be able to handle it, she took out her phone, ready to tell the man.

"Do you still treat people like children? Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

"Junior..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head to look.

The boy walked slowly, his hands in his pockets.

Her expression hardened, but her brows quickly relaxed as she said, "Junior, you haven't been spying on us the whole time, have you?! You were supposed to be the one helping me, and you're deliberately trying to make a fool of me..."

Because of his impatience and grievances, Kasumigaoka spoke incoherently, just like a girlfriend who was deeply resentful after being teased.

"Senior, you're overthinking it. I just intend to give Rikka a suitable experience."

Hasegawa Izumi, of course, immediately denied it.
