Chapter 343

"Um."

On the other side.

Natsukawa Masuzu was the first to enter the bedroom. After glancing at the bookshelf, she turned her head to look at the bed on the side, her eyes showing interest.

"Club President ~ Club President ~ Club President ~"

"The Club President definitely cares about me! Club President must have feelings for me! When is Club President going to confess to me?! Hehe..."

She lay on her side on the bed, hugging the blanket and rubbing against it, burying her face in it, occasionally letting out incomprehensible moans.

"Thud."

When the other two girls stepped into the bedroom, they were stunned by the scene they saw.

It's hard to imagine that the person who committed such a shameful act is the same Poison Tongue- Black Bellied, scheming woman they admire, someone who seems completely broken...

At this moment, the graceful figure lying on the bed also stopped moving, making it impossible to see how interesting her expression was.

"Greed... Witch, what are you doing?! Death! You are blaspheming the Lord Sage's sacred... blanket!"

Dekomori Sanae nervously extended her finger.

The person in bed did not respond, choosing to remain silent.

"How pitiful... before, he insisted that he was an opponent of dating, but now he's been exposed!"

Nibuya Morika made a couple of sarcastic remarks.

"It's boring."

Seeing that the other person was pretending to be dead, she walked forward.

"No, that's right! So what if I've fallen for the Club President! It's all your fault, you love-obsessed people have corrupted me from the inside out..."

Natsukawa Masuzu raised her head, her eyes filled with a sense of despair.

"You're the one who's love-struck!"

Don't compare me to you, Death!

Both felt ashamed and annoyed.

"Hmph, look at you all! How dare you talk to me like that!"

She suddenly raised her voice, instantly taking the initiative.

"Alright, get up now, we'll go back after we choose our books."

After repeated urging from Nibuya Morika, Natsukawa Masuzu reluctantly let go of her hands.

Volume 4: Chapter 39 Why does everyone want to come to Earth?

"My Lord Sage, this vile Witch actually did such and such things in your bed! She must be severely punished!"

Upon returning home, Dekomori Sanae immediately began tattling, gesturing excitedly as she spoke, her face slightly flushed.

"Is that so? M Liang."

Hasegawa Izumi's lips twitched, and she turned to ask.

"Hmm hmm hmm~"

Natsukawa Masuzu turned her head and started humming a song, seemingly feigning madness, but in reality, she was admitting her mistake.

"Abnormal."

Even with Takanashi Rikka's current level of acceptance, she found it hard to accept and showed a disgusted expression.

Just when everyone thought he would at least give a warning if he didn't punish them...

He simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

This puzzled everyone.

Instead of receiving a stern reprimand, Natsukawa Masuzu felt unsatisfied and curled the corners of her lips.

Soon, she found the idea of her own birth absurd.

When did I become a masochist?!

"Speaking of which, did Rikka and the Seeker of Truth talk about anything when they were alone together earlier?"

Nibuya Morika suddenly changed the subject.

Because she noticed the unusual expression on Rikka's face.

"Nothing."

Takanashi Rikka said with a straight face.

The seemingly flawless cover-up, on the contrary, aroused suspicion from others.

However, these are personal secrets, and unless the other party brings them up, they can only guess and have no way to tamper with them.

Wait until evening.

The girls received the delicious food they wanted and ate to their hearts' content before reluctantly leaving.

The next morning.

Kōko gets up very early, and after practicing for a while, she still can't resist going to the TV to watch the morning cartoon.

After a while, the animation ended.

"Kōko, breakfast is ready."

My older brother's voice came from beside the dining table.

"Kukuku... Finally, I can enjoy the offering of My other half all by myself!"

Kōko put down the remote and went over.

At that moment, the television station, which had been standing still, interrupted its broadcast with a morning news segment.

"Good morning, everyone. Today is July 21st, and it's been really hot lately..."

Several hosts appeared, and after reciting their usual lines, the formal broadcast began.

"Now let's see what interesting news happened yesterday!"

The video shows a blurry clip from a famous news story from decades ago: 'Alien Autopsy'.

"One day in 1995, a blurry yet shocking black-and-white image suddenly flashed on the screen of Fox Television. In this top-secret video, a group of people in military uniforms were gathered around an operating table, on which lay an alien that clearly did not belong to an Earth-based species..."

The host's image appeared in the lower left corner, and his voice appeared as narration. After introducing everything, he quickly changed the subject.

"However, it was later confirmed that this was just fake news. But even so, our imagination about aliens, our pursuit of the mysterious, and our curiosity have not ceased! And recently, according to rumors, an alien infiltrated a meteor shower and came to Earth, but was discovered. The discoverer then reached a contract with the famous Mikasane Zaibatsu to publicly demonstrate the existence of aliens..."

"So, will this time we finally be able to solve this long-standing mystery and prove whether aliens exist? Stay tuned!"

Subsequently, a video was broadcast on television, featuring an open invitation from the Mikadoin family, dated August 15th, to Hito Island in Wakayama City.

"Alien?"

Kōko, who was eating, was drawn to the keyword.

"Heh, there are more and more people coveting this world. Humanity really has a lot of troubles... Speaking of which, why does the Human World have such a strong attraction for them?"

She licked her lips, held the wine glass, and moved with elegance.

Even if it were true, Hasegawa Izumi wouldn't be surprised.

He sensed something unusual about the meteor shower that day.

Besides, they're just aliens; they might not be more advanced than humans today.

However, after listening to his Little Sister's words, he thought for a moment and said, "Because Earth is the most important anchor point among many timelines. Coming here to pursue sublimation is driven by a motivation that transcends the instinct of life. Even more so, some people may want to use it as a transit point to interfere with other timelines..."

The higher one's level of understanding, the more one sees.

On the Day of Heavenly Change, through the communion between heaven and man, he came to understand that 'Earth' was not an ordinary planet, but rather a concept.

Therefore, his coming here was an inevitable choice.

"I see."

Kōko nodded in deep agreement.

These words were still somewhat profound for her, but that didn't stop her from showing this expression.

A few days later, one night.

As if out of pity, the heavens sent down a rare rain, the raindrops pattering softly on the streets and alleys.

A petite blonde girl with blue eyes stood at the intersection, holding an umbrella in one hand and licking an ice cream cone in the other.

The slightly cool, stimulating sensation filled her mouth, bringing a blissful, childlike smile of pure satisfaction to her face.

"Sanae."

Suddenly, a shout came from behind.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly swallowed the rest of the ice cream in one gulp, turned around with an admiring look in her eyes, and cheered with joy.

"My Lord Sage ~"

Have you been waiting long?

"No, I just arrived too."

"Let's hurry up and finish our business and go back."

The man turned his head and walked away, and she followed closely behind with light steps.

If this scene were witnessed by passersby, it might lead to some subtle misunderstandings.

The two walked through the streets and alleys, past the highway, and into the mountains.

The surrounding trees grew denser and more eerie, and the sound of raindrops added to the eerie atmosphere, reminiscent of scenes from horror movies, stirring up fear.

However, as the girl walked along the road, her gaze lingered on the profile of the person beside her, and some strange thoughts began to stir in her mind. Some scenarios that she would never normally even dare to imagine suddenly came to mind.

Night, rain, two people alone...

Does this count as a date?

She lowered her head, reached up and touched her cheek, and muttered to herself—

It's so hot.

"Sanae, what's wrong?"

Hasegawa Izumi noticed her unusual behavior and turned around to ask her a question.

"N-nothing!"

At this moment, Dekomori Sanae was like a sensitive little animal, and even her voice changed tone.

See through it but don't say it.

Without saying much, the two continued on their way until they came to an abandoned tunnel.

We've arrived.

At the same time.

Inside the tunnel, in the pitch-black world, two scarlet eyes lit up.

Volume 4: 40 High-Speed Hag

Dekomori Sanae looked around at her surroundings.

This place feels a bit like a place I visited with Yotsuya before.

However, considering that these abandoned tunnels are popular haunted locations, it's not surprising.

"Sage, could it be that my trial is to come here to Spirit Summoning, Daath?"
